03. Do I have to pay for the application processing?

No.

You will always receive free and reliable advice and application processing from the studierendenWERK BERLIN. If you have any questions, please contact the staff of the BAföG office by phone or e-mail.

We recommend filling out the BAföG application via the official BAföG digital portal. This offers numerous advantages. The information is answered in the form of a questionnaire and immediately checked for plausibility and completeness. The application and documents can be conveniently transferred to the office and automatically retrieved there.

The fee-based private providers do not have an interface to the BAföG office.
