The support association XENOS helps foreign students at Bremen's universities if they get into a financial emergency situation for which they are not responsible. The founders deliberately gave the association the (Greek) name XENOS: The "foreigner" should be treated like a "guest."
The application procedure is kept as simple as possible and the students can apply for a one-time support grant at any time.
Applications can be submitted to the International Office of the respective university: University of Bremen, Bremen University of Applied Sciences, Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences.
