Bridging loan

In cases of financial hardship, we offer short-term interest-free bridging loans to students at the University of Cologne. This offer is aimed in particular at students who are unable to pay their semester fees due to financial difficulties. You can apply for a loan of up to €300, which must generally be repaid within one month. The decision on whether to grant the loan is made by the board. In cases of hardship and after a case-by-case review, exceptions to these guidelines may be made.

If you need a bridging loan, please come to the BAföG and social counseling office during office hours.
