KfW Student Loan

The KfW Student Loan supports students with at least EUR 100 and up to EUR 650 per month during your degree programme. It requires no collateral and is independent of income or assets.

Students enrolled at a state or state-recognised tertiary institution in Germany in the following categories:

  • German citizens
  • EU citizens who have been lawfully residing in Germany permanently for at least three years
  • So-called educational residents with a primary domestic residence who obtained a German Higher Education Entrance Qualification by graduating from a high school in Germany or a German school abroad.
  • Exception (financial bridging assistance in pandemic emergency): All foreign students in Germany with a registered address in Germany, regardless of their nationality and the duration of their stay in Germany so far.

The application requires a valid student matriculation certificate for the requested start of financing: the certificate must specify the (first) subject, semester and intended degree. You will be able to download your student matriculation from August on.

The term of the KfW Student Loan is divided into three periods (disbursement, grace and repayment period).
