If an international student faces
exceptional financial hardship, HILFE FÜR
AUSLÄNDISCHE STUDENTEN IN LEIPZIG E.V. grants financial
support. This grant can be used to tackle financial bottlenecks and
cover the most urgent expenses, for example, to clear rent arrears or
solve possible debt problems with an health insurance company. Awards
are made as a one-off payment; there is no funding on a permanent
basis.
In every case applications and
financial shortfalls are carefully and individually assessed by the
committee.
The application with documents has to be submitted to one of the contact persons listed below.
As a rule, the board discusses the received applications once a month. Of course, every application is treated as strictly confidential. In order to remain unbiased and uninfluenced by personal feelings and experiences, there is no personal contact between the applicant and the board members prior to the decision-making. In this way only the relevant facts will be considered. To be eligible for financial support, students must complete the application form and produce credible proof of the financial emergency.
