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!

Criteria:

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

How does it work?

You can apply for the ÖH JKU Mensa Bonus exclusively via the KUSSS. In the menu item "Personal data" simply go to the tab "ÖH-Mensabonus". As soon as you have applied for the canteen bonus and paid your ÖH contribution, you can activate your canteen bonus at the JKU service points by inserting your JKU Card (an "M" will be printed on your JKU Card during this process) and the bonus will be transferred to the canteen.

From this point on, you will receive meals at the JKU cafeteria, the KHG cafeteria, the Raab-Heim cafeteria and also at the University of Art University cafeteria at a reduced rate.

You have to apply for the canteen bonus every semester at KUSSS.
