BAföG - Application and Forms

Online Application

You can simply fill in your BAföG application online and submit it in digital form or print it out.

The website helps to provide the full information required and will lead you through all the questions that are relevant for you. Furthermore, you can subsequently submit your documents online.

Using BAföGdigital makes it possible for us to deal with your application as quickly as possible. Please also make sure to upload the full application forms.

Applying via other online portals or email will lead to a delay in your application being dealt with.

If you are emailing documents, please only attach pdf files to your emails. You cannot attach files larger than 10 MB.

Do you still have questions concerning your application? Please have a look at our FAQ section; you might find an answer to your question there.

The former online application for Bavaria will remain available during a transition period.

Please note: From 15 July 2021 onwards, please use the portal www.bafoeg-digital.de to submit new applications (Formblatt 1, 3 and 4).
All forms will also continue to be available here. It is still possible to upload documents independent of when you submit your application. You can also fill in the forms 06, 07, 08 and 09 on that page.

The following additional forms are only used by the Studierendenwerk München Oberbayern. Their purpose is to facilitate and speed up the application process:

• Krankenversicherungsbescheinigung (health insurance)
• Bisherige Studienverhältnisse (education so far)
• Hilfe zum Studienabschluss (support for completing your studies)
• Praktikumserklärung (internships)
• Glaubhaftmachung des Einkommens (establishing income if tax assessment is not yet available)
• Änderungsmitteilung (notification of changes)
• Merkblatt & Formular Fachrichtungswechsel (information & form for changing your subject area)
• Merkblatt & Formular Fachrichtungswechsel from 2024/2025 Winter Semester  (information & form for changing your subject area)
• Anschrift Elternteil unbekannt (parents’ address unknown)

You can of course upload the forms directly.
