The Studentenwerk Frankfurt (Oder) strongly recommends that students whose standard period of study expires in the summer semester 2020 and who have not yet been able to complete their studies due to the Corona Pandemic and who have received benefits under BAföG (Federal Training Assistance Act) must submit a follow-up application for BAföG. See also the following link (external).
According to the latest information, the legal basis is to be adopted with the nouvelle of the Brandenburg Higher Education Act at the beginning of October. The BAföG Office can only approve corresponding applications once this decision has been made.
As already mentioned, however, it is important that applications are received in September, so that money can still be received retroactively for September.
