Apply for Bafög online - is that possible?

From the winter semester 2016, you can now apply for Bafög online. You now have three options to apply for the money for your studies. In addition to the traditional way of filling out the form, you can fill out the applications on the computer, then print them out and submit them.

How to apply for your Bafög online

The most important thing in advance: No matter which variant you choose, you should submit the Bafög documents in good time and in full to the responsible office for training support. You will not receive any money retrospectively.

• On the website of the student union responsible for you you will find detailed information on who you have to apply for your Bafög application. It will also inform you which documents must be attached to your application and what you should consider.
• The practical thing about the online Bafög form: As you fill out the application, your information is checked for plausibility. So you can be relatively sure that you fill out everything correctly and no longer have any problems afterwards.
• If you have to interrupt the online entry, simply save the information you have given so far and continue your work at a later time. As soon as you are finished, save the Bafög forms and print them out if you would like to submit them by conventional mail.
• It is very important that you sign the printed forms. Otherwise your Bafög application cannot be processed. Finally, you only have to submit the forms to the responsible body.
• If you want to get your applications online right away, the signature is not required. Of course, you must clearly identify yourself anyway. There are two ways to do this: either you use De-Mail or you identify yourself with an electronic ID card.

If you are interested in which Bafög rate you can count on, use the appropriate calculation tools to determine this easily.
