How much can I earn in addition to receiving study grants?
In addition to receiving study grants, you can earn up to € 15,000 (2024: 16.455 €) per year if you receive the grant for all 12 months of the respective year.
If you only receive the study grant for a few months of the year, a aliquot income limit of € 1,250 (2024: 1.371,25 €) per month applies for this period. For example, if you only receive study grants from September to December within a year, the income limit is from September 1 to December 31 thus € 5,000 (2024: 5.485 €). Your income before this period will not be taken into account.
If you exceed the income limit that applies to you, the study grant will be subsequently reduced by the amount by which your income exceeds the limit.
