GFFF Emergency Fund

The Gesellschaft der Freunde und Förderer der Folkwang Universität der Künste e. V. (GFFF) is our closest partner when it comes to supporting students in the various phases of their studies. If you are in financial need or need money for a specific study-related project, you can submit an application. This can be, for example, a master class, a travel allowance in connection with your studies, the financing of study equipment (dance shoes, strings, ...), the printing of final theses or similar.

The grant is one-off and amounts to a maximum of €300. Only in exceptional cases can you submit multiple applications. Applications are processed by the University Funding Department and submitted to the GFFF for a decision.

The following documents are required from you for an emergency fund application:

  • Personal information: First name, last name, email address
  • Information about your studies: Degree program, study objective (Bachelor/Master/...), main subject teacher if applicable
  • Reason for the application (financing general living costs, project financing, master's course, study equipment, etc.)
  • Details of your financial situation (income, expenses, savings, family support, BAföG, scholarships, etc.; why are you applying now?)
  • If it is a project that will directly benefit several students: description of the project, financing plan for the project
  • Upload: Current certificate of enrollment, financing plan or further information on the project, if applicable
