The summer semester 2020 as a “neutral semester”

According to the Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Research*), the current semester is considered a “neutral semester” for those receiving study grants. In order to protect recipients of study grants from negative consequences, this semester shall be disregarded in the evaluation concerning the full funding period in student funding – therefore, this applies not only for study grants, but also for mobility grants and graduation grants. Beneficiaries of study grants should not experience any disadvantages.

You can find detailed information in German in the following document, on the website of the Federal Ministry and the website of the Austrian study grant authority.
