Energy cost allowance
The Studentenwerk has already set up an aid fund in summer semester of 2023 for students who find themselves in financial hardship due to rising energy prices. This was possible thanks to the emergency aid from the state of Lower Saxony for the Studentenwerke, which was decided at the end of 2022.
We would also like to provide this help in the winter semester 2023/2024.
If you meet the following requirements, you can apply to us for an energy cost assistance:

- You do not receive BAföG or housing allowance.
- Attention! Even if you have already submitted an application in Summer Semester 2023 you can take advantage of our energy cost subsidy!
The following documents are to be submitted:

The energy cost allowance is a one-time fee of 300 euros.
