Bildungskredit
This state-funded education loan program is a fixed-term, low-interest credit to support students and pupils during advanced stages of their education. Up to 24 monthly installments of 300 euros can be applied for within one period of education. Up to six installments can be paid in advance as a one-off payment in addition to the monthly payment. The loan is granted regardless of your personal and your parents’ financial situation.
