Students can apply online for a one-time grant by the studierendenWERK BERLIN from the 15th of September to the 15th of October.

The grant for the start or graduation of study aims to provide financial support for a successful start of studies or a successful graduation.

It can be applied for twice a year. For the summer semester (application period: 15.03. - 15.04.) and for the winter semester (application period: 15.09. - 15.10.).

It is aimed at students in social and financial need and takes into account the special burdens of international students.
This is done by providing a financial allowance for living expenses or additional expenses during these special phases of study, e.g. for purchases, deposit payments, travel, living expenses to be bridged, additional expenses for final theses, etc.
