Detailed description
As a pupil or student, you can receive benefits under the Federal Training Assistance Act (BAf枚G) if your training is eligible for funding and if the resources required for your living expenses and training are not otherwise available to you.
Aim of the training support:
The aim is to give all young people the opportunity to complete the training that matches their abilities and interests, regardless of their social and economic situation.
Examination by the Office for Training Support:
After you have submitted a BAf枚G application, the responsible office for educational support will check whether the desired training can be funded. It is often a good idea to seek advice from the office for educational support before submitting your application.
Calculation of individual funding:
When calculating your individual funding, a flat rate is used to cover your monthly needs. The amount of funding you receive depends on whether you are attending school or studying, and where you live and train. Your own income and assets as well as your parents' income are taken into account when calculating your needs. If you are married, your spouse's income is taken into account. This also applies to registered civil partnerships. If you have at least one child under the age of fourteen living in your household, you can receive a childcare allowance for each child in addition to the BAf枚G benefits calculated for you.
In exceptional cases, you may also receive training support regardless of your parents鈥� income.
