Federal Support Grant for Students in Austria
The Austrian Study Grant Authority is a government service body responsible for handling applications for student financial aid in Austria. Its main role is to process and provide grants to students, particularly those who may not have sufficient financial resources to continue their education.
The Federal Support Grant is designed to provide direct financial aid to students, either through monthly payments or additional benefits. It is awarded based on factors such as family income, household size, academic performance, and study progress. The grant is not a reward for academic achievement alone but a tool to ensure equal opportunities for students from diverse economic backgrounds.
