Financial
support
Providing
the prerequisites have been met, the tuition fees and all other costs related
to the studies can be claimed as income-related expenses, since they are not
taxable within the meaning of the Section 19 German Framework Act for Higher
Education (HRG). Your tax adviser or local tax office will provide you with
more information.
Scholarships
Those
seeking scholarships can get informed about current scholarship programmes on
the following pages: University scholarship advisory service,
www.stipendienlotse.de and www.mystipendium.de.
Student loans
An additional way of financing your studies is to take out a student loan.
Further information is available from the “Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau” (KfW) www.kfw-foerderbank.de or the “Deutsche Bildung AG” www.deutsche-bildung.de.
Funding
from your employer
Many companies provide financial support to their employees in continuing education and often pay all or part of tuition fees. It’s worth asking!
