The study appropriations shall be made available from the appropriations generally available for the purpose of support and shall be sufficient to meet all the appropriate requests. E8 can be expected to be sufficient for the amount of RM 370 000 for study aid because 1. a large part of the students are in higher education and are thus constantly transferred to the Darlehnsförderung, 2. students are continuously called to military service, 3. the parents of the student receive growing income from their new work in Gau Wartheland, which allows them to grant juss. The funds for the granting of so-called resettlement loans to students whose parents can finance their studies as soon as they have their assets will probably be provided by the DUT. If the negotiations with DUT were to break down, the Reichsstudentenwerk will draw the funds from the Darlehnskapital. 12. The students were immediately integrated into the work of the student association at all universities. Jn Wrocław is responsible for the organization of the BADSt, which carries out this work with the trusting men from the Baltic States and the former Poland. According to the report of the Studentenwerk, the BADST has itself. Several members of the BUDSt. have taken part in the student service and the street collections. After the introduction to the BADSt, the comrades are integrated into the comradeships of the student federation. About half of the people's Germans studying in Wroclaw have already been transferred to the NSDStB. In Jnsbruck, the South Tyroleans were initially grouped together into a special group; after an introductory period, they were also divided into the comrades of the Student Federation. All South Tyroleans also form a special working group, which keeps them in touch with their ethnic group and their new tasks. In the context of this working group special lectures and courses on the history of the movement, German history and language are also held. Volksdeutschen in Königsberg are all in the NSD, according to the Studentenwerk. Student federations are collecting and making service in the individual comradeships. The same applies to Greifswald. According to the report of the Studentenwerk, the people's Germans are very ready to eat. They take over the tasks entrusted to them by the NSDAP. and the student federation with inner sympathy. The smooth integration is due to the fact that the number has already been in the service and movement in its home country.
