If you decide or have decided to study at one of the colleges/universities of Regensburg, Passau, Deggendorf or Landshut and would like to apply for BAföG (educational funding), you can contact us, the Amt für Ausbildungsförderung (Office for Educational Funding) of the Studentenwerk Niederbayern/Oberpfalz.

The Amt für Ausbildungsförderung is responsible for the following educational institutions:

• Universität Regensburg
• Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule Regensburg (OTH Regensburg)
• Hochschule für katholische Kirchenmusik und Musikpädagogik Regensburg (HfKM)
• Ausbildungsinstitut für Verhaltenstherapie Regensburg (AVR)
• Universität Passau
• Technische Hochschule Deggendorf and its locations such as European Campus Rottal-Inn Pfarrkirchen
• Hochschule Landshut

BAföG is a low-cost way to finance studies, because within the standard period of study, half of it is granted as a non-interest-bearing loan and half as a scholarship, i.e. one half is given as a gift!

You can find more information about BAföG on our homepage www.stwno.de/en/financing/bafoeg.

Information flyers can be found in our download area.
