BAföG: Understanding the Allowances for Further Education
For those considering further education, understanding the financial support available is crucial. One such source of funding is BAföG, a German student financial aid programme.
BAföG offers various allowances for singles and partners, providing some protection for wealth up to a certain extent from being counted towards benefits. It's essential to be aware of these regulations, as they directly impact financial support during further education.
The wealth calculation for BAföG takes into account the applicant's income and the income of their spouse or partner. In the case of married couples and registered partners, the joint assets are considered. However, singles can keep a certain amount of assets before they are considered in BAföG. Assets not included in the BAföG assessment include necessary household items, work-related tools, and a certain amount of savings deemed necessary for emergencies.
Building savings contracts and real estate such as a single-family house are included among the considered assets, provided they exceed the allowance. Carefully examining one's own income and assets before applying for BAföG is crucial to avoid losing any claims.
During the winter semester 2022/23, special regulations apply for calculating claims under advanced training BAföG. These regulations allow certain incomes and assets to be taken into account more effectively. Advanced training BAföG offers various contribution types: full-time funding, maintenance allowance, measure allowance, and funding opportunities for part-time measures.
It's important to note that the grant provided by BAföG does not have to be repaid, and a loan component is provided by KfW Bank. KfW funding considers the costs of further training and living expenses. When submitting follow-up applications for BAföG, it's important to ensure that the assets do not exceed the permitted amount.
The Advanced Training Act (AFBG) provides a wide range of funding opportunities for working people to overcome financial hurdles in advanced training. The effective promotion of individual further training and professional development is supported by BAföG.
Those who work a mini-job can deduct the advertising cost allowance as well as the social allowance in BAföG, which reduces income and increases eligibility.
In summary, BAföG offers a range of financial support for further education, taking into account the applicant's income, assets, and life situation. It's crucial to understand these regulations to maximise the financial support available.
