174.a 232 The support itself depends on the economic conditions of the individual. In most cases there is no income or subsidy for the study, so that the support must be carried out by the Studentenwerk 100%oig. The grant is fixed on the basis of a budget plan based on the experience of the Reichsdeutscheförderung. The students receive a free table or a sum of money, as well as money for housing, pocket money for keeping the clothes and clothes and a sum for study requirements. In special cases, special permits are issued on request, e.g. in case of increased study requirements in a study subject or in case the apartment is located outside." (Excerpt from the report Dipl.-Jng. Moka, Gdansk.) The students have been accommodated, as far as possible, closed. The South Tyroleans in Jnnsbruck were first accommodated in hotels and then in the old student residence. Jn Munich they live in the Volksdeutsche Studentenheim of the service Munich of the Reich Studentenwerk. Jn Gdańsk was not possible to accommodate the Balten Germans because most of the comrades of the student federation lost their home due to the military occupation. Some live in the ż-team house, most others furnished; partly they live with their parents or relatives in Gotenhafen. In Königsberg they also live mostly in private apartments; a part is housed in the comradeship houses. Jn Wrocław finds initial difficulties overcome jeşt; here, too, most students live privately, as the possibility of joint accommodation is not given. The Baltic Germans in Greifswald are housed in the former VDSt.-Haus and in the comradeship-house. The food is generally taken in the student feeding. Considerable expenditure was necessary for the procurement of the new teaching materials. Jn Jnns- bruck was created, since most of the medicine studies, a library, from which the books are arranged on loan to the individual. It is also to be given to the comrades the possibility to purchase the books, which they later need in practice, for sale. The procurement costs could be substantially reduced due to the agreement of the Reichsstudentenwerk with the stock exchange berein of the German booksellers. Contrary to expectations, it was also necessary to grant special permits for the purchase of clothing for a larger part of the Baltic Germans, because they could not get their large luggage in time. Here, too, in some cases through the mediation of the Winterhilfswerk and the Kreisfürsstellen, in all urgent cases, was helped. The Reichsstudentenwerk took over the inextricable fees for the comrades and provided them at the high and/or technical school with a decree of tuition fees and hearing fees. It was possible at all universities, with the exception of Gdańsk, to provide the students from the resettled ethnic groups with a full decree of the tuition fees. The Reichsstudentenwerk has applied to the Reichslehrungsministerium for all the students it proposes from the surrounding ethnic groups to be granted in the future, in full, the fees and the hearing fees. This application is at present for decision by the Reich Finance Ministry. It is not proposed to propose to the students who receive a transfer fee. 11. Applying the funding. The Reichsstudentenwerk had asked for a special grant for the support of the students from the resettled ethnic groups at the budget meetings for the academic year 1939/40 in the Reich Ministry of Finance, because the funding was not sufficient as a result of the introduction of the trimesters. The approval of this special grant had been made in the oral discussions in sight. Unfortunately, the promise could not then be complied with due to the exhaustion of the Reichszuschuss. Therefore, the Reich Studentenwerk itself took over the amounts proposed by it.
