BAföG.

Federal Eğitim Teşvik Yasası (BAföG), gençleri örgün eğitim ve yükseköğrenim alanlarında destekler. İki tür BAföG vardır: ortaöğretim BAföG (Schüler-BAföG) ve yükseköğrenim BAföG (Studenten-BAföG). 

Ortaöğretim öğrencileri ve yükseköğrenim öğrencileri karşılıksız yardım veya faizsiz kredi alabilirler. 

Ortaöğretim öğrencisiyseniz faizsiz krediyi geri ödemek zorunda değilsiniz.  

Yükseköğrenim öğrencisiyseniz faizsiz kredinin yarısını (yüzde 50) geri ödersiniz.  

Desteğin tutarı kişisel durumunuza bağlıdır.
