rdf:langString The Government of Germany provides financial aid to students in the form of loans and grants regardless of their social and economic situation. This aid is provided under the Bundesausbildungsförderungsgesetz (Federal Training Assistance Act) or "BAföG" [ˈbaːfœk] . Groups eligible for BAföG assistance include high school students, full-time university students, second path education students (i.e., those starting to study after having been in the workforce), and students of schools for professional training. In recent years, BAföG has ensured that students especially from low-income families enrolled themselves for higher education.
