Responsibility
The student finance department of the Studierendenwerk Ulm provides services to Ulm University, the Universities of Applied Sciences in Ulm, Aalen and Biberach, the Baden-Württemberg Cooperative State University in Heidenheim, the PH and HfG in Schwäbisch Gmünd, the HfK+G in Ulm as well as the Mobile University Riedlingen.
Forms
Application forms can be obtained from the student finance department directly at the universities, on our website or online.
Start of the Funding Period
BAföG is paid from the beginning of the month in which the training commenced, with the earliest start being the month in which the application was submitted. Submission of an initial informal, written application is sufficient to adhere to the deadline. Official forms, however, need to be submitted for the further processing of the application. Filling out the official forms diligently and completely helps speed up the processing time of the application immensely.
Submission
The application can be submitted and discussed in person with the responsible administrative officer during office hours. The Studierendenwerk Ulm also offers personal consultations directly at the universities. The dates are announced through the secretariats and on notice boards. Students who already receive BAföG should submit an application for the continuation of the funding (“Weiterförderungsantrag”) at least two months before their BAföG ends.
