Due to technical problems with the telephone system, the BAföG department is currently not available by telephone!
Please send us an e-mail with a callback request to: bafoeg@stwpb.de
We will contact you as soon as the technical faults have been rectified!
We hope for your understanding!
Everything in view? Here is your friendly reminder to submit your BAföG repeat application to avoid payment gaps! Your funding period expires on 28 February or 31 March? Then use the time now to send your repeat application.
From the 1 December 2025 the BAföG hotline of the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space will become more accessible: deaf and hearing-impaired people will then be able to call via sign language and video telephony on the subject of BAföG.
The new Signing telephone enables direct, free counselling via the Internet and expands access to important information on student financing. This is a further step towards greater participation and accessibility.
