Free Meal Project (Freitisch)
With the Freitisch programme, students in financial need receive a free meal a day in the canteens of Studierendenwerk Aachen. We launched the programme in 2020 together with Studierendenwerk Aachen, the AStA of FH Aachen and the AStA of KatHo Aachen.
All students who have had an application approved by the Social Committee can take part in the Freitisch programme. This includes:
- A short-term social loan,
- A long-term social loan,
- An approved reimbursement of the semester fee due to social hardship,
- An approved takeover of the coming semester fee due to social hardship.
The approval and issue of the free table sticker is carried out by the social counselling service of the Studierendenwerk. The current contact person is:
