A financial hardship does not have to mean the end of your studies! Students facing a financial hardship that they are not responsible for can apply for financial support from the financial hardship fund of the Studentenwerk Leipzig by contacting the Social Counselling Service.
As soon as an improvement of the financial situation is likely and a reimbursement is reasonable, in most cases a loan without guarantee is assigned. Otherwise, grants which do not have to be repaid are provided as well. Usually, the application can be made once per student and study. In exceptional cases, you can apply for a consultation session in order to discuss another application with the social councellors.
The amount is determined individually. The maximum financial support granted is at the amount of 812€ ( BAföG without the contribution to the health insurance).
In the case of disbursement as a loan, a loan agreement with concrete repayment arrangements must be concluded.As a rule, reimbursement is to be agreed within a period of three months.
In case of delays of reimbursement or ongoing financial hardship, you can contact the Social Counselling service in order to find an individual solution for your situation. We will not leave you alone with your problems!
A grant does not have to be repaid.
