I'm a student – and money, time or nerves aren't enough
How the roadmap works. Answer the questions. Your roadmap is built from them: what matters this week, which benefits usually come into consideration and which deadlines are running. Each step links to a detailed topic page. State law and your university's examination regulations may differ in the details.
Your answers are not stored or transmitted; they only appear in your browser's address bar. Anyone who shares the link also shares the answers. Legal status as of October 2026: BAföG as amended by the 29th Amendment Act, SGB II since 1 July 2026 (Grundsicherungsgeld), SGB V, EStG, BGB (maintenance), WoGG, VwGO, state higher education acts (Landeshochschulgesetze) and examination regulations.
Your situation
Your roadmap
As of October 2026. The roadmap arranges general information according to your answers. It does not review an individual case, does not replace legal advice and does not assess your dismissal or any deadline as valid, met or missed. Whether an entitlement exists is decided by the responsible office; deadlines and amounts change often – check important details with an advice centre.

On a decision, deadline, application or responsibility. You get an answer with the matching page, the responsible office and the next step, usually within two working days. No legal advice in individual cases, no sharing of your data.
