Education funding: announce changes

If something changes in your situation, you must inform the Office for Educational Support immediately.

You can do this in writing or online. You must also submit the relevant supporting documents with your change application.

If your entitlement has increased, you will receive a notification of change and the increased amount will be paid to you. The amount will also be refunded retroactively if you have notified us of all changes in good time.

If your entitlement is reduced, you will receive less BAföG from the following month. It will also be checked whether you have received too much BAföG in the past, which you will then have to reimburse.

Please contact the Office for Educational Support.
