Each student is responsible for financing their own studies. Good planning is, therefore, necessary. The Admissions office or the Chancellor’s office is happy to support you with this planning. It should not be forgotten that, in addition to the university fees and charges, the costs of health insurance are incurred and the costs of personal requirements must be covered.

If a student does not have sufficient means to finance his/her own studies, the following options are available:

Students – including non-EU foreigners – can generally work in Germany during the semester and in the lecture-free period to the extent usual for students. In accordance with the statutory regulations, students may work for no more than 19.5 hours per week during the lecture period. Friedensau Adventist University and the retirement home located on the campus provide jobs for students to a limited extent

The selection committee awards students of Friedensau Adventist University with outstanding academic achievements the DeutschlandSTIPENDIUM from funds of the state and the Friends of Friedensau International (FFF). Annually, one to three students are awarded € 300.00 of funding per month. You can find general information on the DeutschlandSTIPENDIUM at http://www.deutschlandstipendium.de/

The selection committee awards foreign students DAAD scholarships for the months of April to December from DAAD and FFF funds. https://www.daad.de/deutschland/stipendium/hinweise/en/

The ADRA Foundation awards grants for the financing of tuition fees of a different amount every year to students on the International Social Sciences degree program. The Dean’s Office of the Faculty of Social Sciences is responsible for information and for applications for the ADRA grant at Friedensau Adventist University.

Students at Friedensau Adventist University can apply for a BAföG grant for their university studies. The BAföG grant helps students under 30 or 35, irrespective of the financial situation of their family, to be able to complete training according to their aptitudes and interests. Foreigners can receive training assistance as well as Germans. The concrete requirements for equal treatment depend on their respective status, e.g. citizenship of other EU states, permanent residence permit, recognition as a refugee. The web page provided by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research can be used as an initial guide: http://www.bafög.de/.
Responsible for advice and the granting of BAföG grants for students at Friedensau Adventist University is the Office for Training Assistance Johann-Gottlob-Nathusius-Ring 5 39106 Magdeburg
