Educational Grant for Students of the BAfEP

The "Educational Grant for Students of the BAfEP" in Vorarlberg enables a full reimbursement of the annual tuition fees paid by all learners attending the Educational Institutions for Early Childhood Education. This funding is aimed at private individuals undergoing training in the field of early childhood education and eases the financial burden during the school year through a 100% subsidy rate. The grant is continuously available and is paid retroactively: after the completion of the respective school year, the tuition fees already paid are reimbursed based on the submitted documents. In doing so, the state of Vorarlberg supports dedicated emerging professionals on their path into the educational profession and specifically promotes the expansion of qualified care facilities for children up to 14 years of age.

A prerequisite for approval is uninterrupted attendance at a BAfEP in Vorarlberg. To apply, a current bank confirmation as well as an official confirmation from the attended educational institution must be submitted. Applications are to be submitted for the completed school year and must be received by September 30 of the same year at the latest. The responsible department for processing is Division IIa Early Childhood Education, School and Society of the Vorarlberg State Government. Interested students can find comprehensive information and the necessary web form on the official website of the state government.
