!!!Studienförderung
Student Grants, until 1963 student grants only existed in the form of
private grants awarded by foundations, regional authorities, bodies
under public law representing particular interests and private
organisations, has since been expanded by the state. Scholarships,
travel allowances (for students over the age of 27), grants, financial
assistance for studies abroad and research grants are open to
successful and needy students. Like performance grants, where
neediness is no criterion, research grants may be awarded solely on
the grounds of excellent academic performance. All students are
eligible for free travel ( School Children, Free Travel for) and are
insured against accidents.
