How BAB works
BAB (Berufsausbildungsbeihilfe) is a monthly grant, not a loan — it is never repaid. It is paid from the month you apply, never retroactively, so apply as soon as your apprenticeship contract and move are fixed. The full application walkthrough is in our BAB guide for international apprentices; how to fund the rest of your rent is in the funding overview.
Your rent figure, ready for the form
The application needs a rental contract with a clear rent. At A23 in Großbettlingen that is one number: €395, €495 or €650 all-in per month — including electricity, heating, water and Wi-Fi. See the rooms.
