If your funding stops while you are studying in Germany, it can significantly impact your stay and studies. Here’s what you need to know:

1. Residence Permit and Financial Proof

- Requirement: As an international student, you must continuously prove you have enough funds to support yourself (currently €11,904 per year in a blocked account).
- Implication: If your funding stops and you cannot show sufficient financial means during visa extensions or random checks, your residence permit for study purposes may not be renewed or could even be revoked.

2. What Can You Do if Funding Stops?

- Seek Scholarships: Look for scholarships offered by DAAD, your university, or private organizations.
- Part-time Jobs: Students in Germany are allowed to work up to 120 full days or 240 half days per year. This can help cover living expenses, but may not be enough for all costs.
- Educational Loans: Explore educational loans from Indian banks or financial institutions.
- Family Support: If possible, arrange support from family or relatives, and transfer funds into your blocked account.

3. University Support

- Student Services: Many universities have student support centers that can guide you in case of financial difficulties, including emergency funds or short-term loans.
- Academic Advice: Inform your university of your situation—they may be able to advise on options or provide documentation for scholarship applications.

4. Consequences of Not Resolving Funding Issues

- Loss of Residence Permit: If you cannot demonstrate sufficient funds, your student residence permit may not be renewed.
- Risk of Discontinuing Studies: Without legal status, you may be forced to leave Germany and discontinue your studies.

5. Immediate Steps

- Contact your university’s international office for guidance.
- Research scholarships and emergency funding options.
- Consider part-time work within allowed limits.
- Get in touch with Pollster Education for personalized guidance on financial planning and backup options.
