How do I apply for the KfW Student Loan?
The Student Financing Division at Studentenwerk Dresden is a business partner of KfW Bank and is happy to offer you personal guidance about the KfW Student Loan program. This student loan is intended to help you finance your living costs during your first degree, second degree, postgraduate or postdoctoral studies, independent of your parents’ income.

We are happy to inform you of all the other loan terms.
