The objective of BAföG is to give every young person, regardless of his social and economic situation, an opportunity to complete studies corresponding to his skills and interests. Qualified training, including university studies, shall not fail due to lack of financial resources of the student, his parents or his spouse. For this reason, a Federal Education & Training Assistance Act (BAföG) exists in Germany.
However, the AKAFÖ is not only in charge of the BAföG related issues. In addition, we are responsible for the mediation of the “end of studies loan” granted by DAKA-NRW, are your cooperation partner for the KfW-Banking Group student loan and are ready to assist you in all other study financing issues.
