What are the steps in the application process?

What are the steps in the application process? The first step in the application process is to fill out the application form, which must be completed and returned by email to hopo@asta.h-brs.de along with the necessary documents. If we have no further questions or requests for additional documents, the application will be submitted to the hardship committee, which will then discuss it at its next meeting.

If the application is accepted, we draw up a loan agreement. This must be signed in triplicate by the applicant, the committee chair and the finance officer. The loan can then be disbursed.
