Financial support:
The AStA counselling service is a central point of contact for basically all questions and problems that arise from studying and everyday life. Within the counselling we can talk to you about financial bridges, e.g. a loan from the AStA, but also about other possibilities. We can also clarify with you whether you are entitled to BAföG, housing benefit or social benefits. You can find our counselling times and further information at: asta-oldenburg.de/beratungszeiten/ (in German)
BAföG for Ukrainian refugee students
Under certain conditions, you can apply for a semester ticket refund. To do so, please send us the application form, a copy of your identity papers, a certificate of enrolment and your bank statements from 01.01.2022 onwards. You can find further information at: asta-oldenburg.de/semesterticket-erstattung/ (in German)

Counselling for students affected by the war in Ukraine
You are worried about your homeland, your family and friends? Do you feel discriminated against by the war and the Russian government?
The AStA now offers a talk on Friday mornings. Here you can talk about your worries, fears and needs in a confidential setting. Merle Witt will take time for you and work out strategies together with you that can help you in your specific situation.
Merle Witt worked in social counselling for over four years and therefore knows the situation of students. She is a trained mediator, which means she has mastered various discussion techniques. She now works in victim-offender mediation. In this context, she often holds talks with people in crisis situations.
If you are interested, please contact her by e-mail: witt@wittmediation.de.
Please send your phone number so that we can arrange a personal appointment.
