Please note: It is assumed that foreign students can afford their studies themselves, of course with the help of their parents. Therefore, although in contrast to many other European countries, there is no possibility of getting financial aid from the German state.

But the scholarship office of University Erlangen-Nürnberg  and the catholic (khg) and protestant (esg) students’ community can give assistance for students especially from developing countries.
