ÖH - Social Fund SS25

 

The Social Fund, provided by the Students’ Union (ÖH) of the University of Arts Linz, is a one-time financial support for students in precarious life situations.

To be eligible, you must be a regular student at the University of Arts Linz, a member of the ÖH, and not receive sufficient support from other institutions.

Applications can be submitted starting from the second semester. The official call will be shared via the ÖH Info email list and posters at all university locations.

 

 

 

All students enrolled in at least their second semester at the University of Arts Linz can apply – provided their studies are at risk due to their current financial situation.

 

 

 

You are eligible for support if you are financially in need according to the ÖH guidelines. This includes:

 

You are in a financial emergency, meaning your monthly expenses exceed your monthly income.

(Note: Students who need to show savings for essential expenses such as residence permits or deposits are excluded from this.)

 

You are struggling with mental health issuesthat significantly affect your ability to focus on your studies.

(This must be confirmed by a licensed psychotherapist or medical doctor.)

 

You are a student with a disability (min. 50%) and attending courses involves considerable financial effort.

 

You face unexpected one-time costs such as child support, urgent medical treatment, therapy, or other essential needs.

(Childcare costs are excluded.)
