About us
Kaiserslautern Students’ Association is a public institution whose role is to provide social, financial and cultural support for students at Kaiserslautern Technical University and Kaiserslautern Technical College, based in Zweibrücken and Pirmasens.
Our main focus is running the canteens and cafés, helping students to find accommodation, providing advice on legal, social and welfare issues, and providing loans and other financial aid.
The Students’ Association is primarily funded through
- Its own income, in particular, from canteens and rent from student residences
- Contributions from students
- Subsidies from the regional government of Rhineland Palatinate, although these are solely for operating the canteens
A Students’ Association contribution has to be paid by all students. All students can then benefit from the events and services organized and provided by the Students’ Association and the Students’ Union.
The following Students’ Association contribution is payable by all students in the winter semester (WS) 2004/05 (excluding Students’ Union contribution)
