Yes, the current blocked account amount for studying in Germany is €11,904 for one year. This covers the standard €992/month living expense requirement set by German authorities.
You must deposit this amount in a blocked account (Sperrkonto) with an approved provider before your visa application. The funds are then released to you monthly after you arrive in Germany.
Fees for opening and maintaining the blocked account are extra and subject to change. Start the process early, as setup can take several weeks. If you need support, your LeapScholar counsellor can guide you through the next steps.
