Tuition loan

You can apply for a tuition loan (so-called “Bavarian tuition loan”) for the financing of your studies via KfW-Förderbank. For more information, please see the homepage of KfW.

Study loans

You can apply for a study loan in order to finance your living costs during the studies. The study loan is a monthly payment, which mainly covers the student’s living costs. It is therefore different from the Bavarian tuition loan, which is a semester payment for covering only the tuition fees. For more information about loan providers and requirements, please see www.studienkredite.org.
