Financial aid
Scholarships, foundations, aid services
Here is a short survey of financial aid possibilities.
Students can apply for low-interest loans to cover their study fees at the LfA Förderbank Bayern. The Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau(KfW) also offers similar loans. [more]
Besides you may find many student loans nationwide.
An overview
including a rating is offered by the Centrum für Hochschulentwicklung
(CHE) in the PDF article (in German).
To make study at our Faculty more flexible, members of the Student Union and the Tuition and Fees Committee have decided to offer financial aid to Master's students who wish to create individual study programs. [mehr]
"BAföG" is the abbreviation for the "Federal Education
Advancement Law". This law regulates state financial aid for education.
If your own or your parents' incomes do not suffice to finance your
education and livelihood, then you are entitled to adequate state financial
aid. BAfög is not a scholarship!
The Office for
Educational Aid (Amt für Ausbildungsförderung) at the
Studentenwerk München is responsible for students studying at Munich's
universities and arranges for the approval of aid according to BAföG
(§48 and §15 section 3a). (legal text)
You can find more information about BAföG at the Studentenwerks München. website here.
To apply for financial aid at the Studentenwerk München, you need to submit the following:
- An application form (at www.das-neue-bafoeg.de) , also available at the Studentenwerk München
- A current statement of your bank account
- A record of study (available at the Examinations Offices in Chemistry and Pharmacy). Requirement is at least 100 ECTS in the Bachelor Chemistry and Biochemistry until the 4th semester.
