HOW WE HELP


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.


Applications can be submitted to one of the following contact persons:
