      BAföG abroad

      Federal Ministry of Education and Research on BAföG abroad

      "So that everyone can take advantage of a stay abroad, there is BAföG for everyone who is basically eligible for funding, even abroad."

      "The higher funding rates for education abroad mean that quite a few pupils and students are also eligible for BAföG who do not receive funding in Germany because their parents' income is too high."
