Top-up for first-time graduates

Students whose parents have not obtained an academic degree (UAS or university) can apply for special funding of an additional €250 per month. For blended mobility internships or short-term internships (doctoral mobility) abroad special funding is one-time 100€ (physical mobility of 5-14 days) or a one-time special funding 150€ (physical mobility 15-30 days).

A degree from a university of cooperative education that leads to a degree comparable to a university degree is considered an academic degree.

Courses of study completed abroad by one of the parents, which are not recognized as such in Germany, are also considered to be an academic degree and the Top-Up cannot be applied for.

In the case of single parents, this regulation only applies to the respective parent with whom the child lives.
