BAföG

BAföG (Bundesausbildungsförderungsgesetz) is a German government program that provides financial support to students in higher education who have limited personal or family income. It aims to make education accessible by offering grants or low-interest loans to cover living expenses and tuition fees. Repayment is usually reduced or deferred, depending on the student's future income. Eligibility is based on factors like income, assets, and study progress. BAföG helps ensure that students from diverse backgrounds can pursue academic goals without undue financial hardship.
