How can I fund my living costs in Germany if the scholarship only covers tuition fees?

You have several options to fund your living costs in Germany if your scholarship covers only tuition fees:

- Part-time work: International students can work up to 120 full days or 240 half days per year. Many jobs require German language skills.
- Additional scholarships: Some universities and organizations offer separate scholarships for living expenses, but these rarely cover the full amount.
- Financial support from family: Support from home can help bridge the gap.
- Student loans: Indian student loans may be used to cover living costs - review terms carefully.
- University support services: Universities may offer emergency funds or financial aid for international students.

Typical living expenses range from €900 - 1,200/month, depending on city and lifestyle (subject to change). If you need personalized guidance, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
