Scholarship for students: APPLICATION OF REFUGEES

Ukrainian refugees who present a residence permit in accordance with Section 24 (1) of the Residence Act or the corresponding fictional certificate at the start of the funding can be funded. If you have a different residence status (e.g. §16) at the application deadline, this must be changed. Refugees can apply to us if they are eligible for BAföG. This means that they have been lawful, permitted or tolerated in Germany for at least 15 months without interruption. If someone is in the asylum procedure, this person is not entitled to BAföG. In this case, it only makes sense to apply for a scholarship if the asylum procedure is completed promptly or has already been completed. All those involved in the selection process are aware that the requirement of commitment and proof of its commitment in the country of origin can be difficult for refugees. Of course, the commitment to others (refugees), e.g. in the shelters or the like, is also appreciated. It is important that the people who apply are willing to stand up for others. The letter of reference from a person of trust (e.g. teacher, supervisor) offers the opportunity to prove this commitment.
