50 euro for new students in Potsdam

Welcome to Potsdam!

Since the winter semester 2001-2002, the State Capital Potsdam has been granting municipal welcome money in the amount of 50 euro per semester for each student who attends Potsdam University, the Potsdam Technical College, or the Konrad Wolf College for Film and Television, providing the student has changed his or her residence from outside the city to Potsdam.

The money is paid upon application, which is to be filed for each semester in person with the Studentenwerk (student union organization). Deadlines for filing are June 30th for the summer semester and December 31st for the winter semester. Please read the instruction leaflet on Municipal Welcome Money for Students before you file your application.
