Cheaper lunch with your ÖH JKU

 

The ÖH JKU Mensa Bonus is a support amount in the form of a meal subsidy that we award to JKU students in cooperation with the Federal Ministry of Science and the State of Upper Austria.

The ÖH JKU Mensa Bonus is also the easiest way to "get back" your ÖH contribution - and get much more back from the ÖH than you paid in!

From today / the coming winter semester, new guidelines and criteria apply for the ÖH JKU Mensa bonus.

Criteria:

• You receive study assistance, study assistance for self-supporting students, or study support from the state.
• You receive BAföG or are in a mobility program.
• You receive funds from an ÖH social fund.
• You receive minimum income support, unemployment benefits, compensatory allowance, orphan's pension, or half-orphan's pension.
• You are exempt from prescription fees, exempt from ORF fees, or receive housing allowance.
• You have childcare obligations, are pregnant, are becoming a parent, or are caring for relatives.
• You have a disability or chronic illness.
• You have less financial means per month than the current at-risk-of-poverty threshold, taking into account parental support or costs covered by third parties.
• You are an asylum seeker or a refugee.

How can you apply for the Mensa bonus?

Also new is that the ÖH JKU Mensa bonus is now applied for not via KUSSS, but via myJKU!

To do this, go to myJKU, click on "My Data", then go to the "Studies" tab, and there you will see the entry "Mensa bonus". Here, select which criterion you meet and upload your proof/document(s)!

After that, you must have your student card re-stamped at a card terminal, and if everything worked, an "M" should be printed next to the date. Now you can use your bonus at the Mensa & Co. by simply placing your student card on the card reader!

You can find JKU Card Terminal locations here:
