A good education is the foundation for professional success. However, each form of education comes at a cost. No-one should have to give up on qualifications due to insufficient financial resources. The aim of the BAföG is therefore to give all young people the opportunity to complete educational training that corresponds to their skills and interests, regardless of their social and economic situation. The BAföG is not only available for students pursuing a course of study at universities, but also for those attending other further educational institutions. BAföG benefits are available on the basis of a written application.
