Support & Funding for Your Studies
Maintenance, BAföG, part-time work, scholarships – studies usually have to be funded from a variety of sources.
On this page and in our information leaflet, you can find out all about scholarships, support for gifted students, funding for your studies and funding opportunities for study abroad programmes.
The German Student Services Organisation (Deutsches Studierendenwerk) and the Munich and Upper Bavaria Student Services Organisation (Studierendenwerk München Oberbayern) also provide an initial overview of the main sources of funding for studies.
If you would like personal advice on scholarships and funding your studies, please feel free to book an appointment with the HM Student Advice Centre.
