meinBafög is the leading online platform for BAföG (German state student funding) applications and student finance in Germany. Its assistant guides users through initial, follow-up and study-abroad BAföG applications, with a live calculator, checklists and data carried over for later applications. Automatically completed forms, assignment to the responsible BAföG office and supplementary applications such as those for exemption from the broadcasting licence fee reduce paperwork and errors. Personal advice and clear processes speed up decisions and lower the administrative burden.
