The Studentenwerk Hannover (student services organisation) does not hand out direct financial support to students. It is responsible, however, to handle and disburse BAföG, a state student loans & grants programme. Those who are entitled to BAföG are mostly German citizens or, occasionally, permanent residents.

If you believe to be entitled to BAföG, please refer to the German BAföG web pages for further details.

Students from abroad who cannot receive BAföG will find in-depth information about the financing of studies (e.g., scholarships, working, looking for a job, loans) in the special section for International Students on our website.
