Bridging assistance for students in pandemic-related emergency situations continues
The Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF) is providing bridging assistance totalling 100 million euros to help those students who are demonstrably in an acute, pandemic-related (economic or financial) emergency and require immediate support. You can apply for bridging assistance if you are a German or international student enrolled at a public-funded and government-recognised higher education institution in Germany. The Kölner Studierendenwerk is responsible for the local exam of the applications. Individual questions on your application (exept status requests) can be asked via mail to ueberbrueckungshilfe-studierende@kstw.de
