Abstract: To support higher education, the public sector in Germany makes inter alia use of transfers in kind. With respect to “chances for education”, the social group-specific redistributive effects were quantified for various transfers in kind. The results show that especially students with high social backgrounds benefit from this type of support. A look “behind the scenes” reveals, however, that it is not primarily the transfer instrument but rather the allocation mechanisms of the upstream stages of the educational system which are constitutive for the redistribution effects.
