The application is again made via the nationwide, established platform www.ueberbrueckungshilfe-studierende.de

ATTENTION:

Students (including international students) can receive bridging assistance from their Saarland universities. The universities pay out up to 300 euros per person. Those who receive this bridging aid from the university do not receive bridging aid from the BMBF in parallel (see guideline point 5.4.4 or FAQs point 29).
