Social benefits: Bridging loan and free table for students in need

In financial emergencies, students at Aachen's four universities can apply for a short-term bridging loan of 500 euros and/or participation in the "free table" program.

For the approval of both benefits, a consultation in the social counseling service is required, in which, among other things, the applicant's need is checked. The documents listed in the application must be brought along. A guarantor is not required.

The “free table” provides subsidies for meals in the dining halls of Studierendenwerk. Participation entitles you to one free meal per day (classic or vegan/vegetarian) until the end of the respective semester.

Before submitting your application, please contact the social counseling service via e-mail to arrange an appointment so that we can clarify the details together. Please do not use the open consultation hours for this.
