Eligibility & conditions

For incoming Bachelor's and Master's applicants beginning their studies at TUM, based on documented financial hardship (income/asset documentation against a BAföG-style threshold test) — not GPA or merit. Requires a separate application (motivational letter, bank statements, supporting documents). A related waiver for high-achieving students exists too, but that one is restricted to continuing TUM students from their 3rd semester onward, not incoming applicants.

Deadline & how to apply

Bachelor's application window roughly 15 May-15 July; Master's windows roughly 1 Jan-31 May (winter intake) or 1 Nov-15 Jan (summer intake) — confirm exact current-cycle dates with TUM.
