Procedure

Applications are processed quickly and unbureaucratically by the responsible person and the Social Fund Commission. The Social Fund Commission consists of three members of the Student Council, one doctoral candidate of the MVUB and two members of the SUB Executive Board.

Further information on the Social Fund, on support contributions or loans can be found in the Regulations for the Social Fund, the Loan and Scholarship Regulations for the Social Fund or in the relevant leaflet.

Often a one-off amount from the Social Fund is not enough to overcome financial difficulties in the long term. The SUB can point out various possibilities in a personal meeting or offer further help. If you have any questions about the Social Fund or other financial concerns, you can contact the responsible board member. You will find further helpful tips and information on this topic in the section study financing.
