Judgment_paragraph 36 · Laurence Prinz v Region Hannover (C‑523/11) and Philipp Seeberger v Studentenwerk Heidelberg (C‑585/11) (C-523/11, C-585/11)

36In that connection, it is true that the Court has recognised that it may be legitimate for a Member State, in order to ensure that the grant of assistance to cover the maintenance costs of students from other Member States does not become an unreasonable burden which could have consequences for the overall level of assistance which may be granted by that State, to grant such assistance only to students who have demonstrated a certain degree of integration into the society of that State, and that if a risk exists that a Member State may have to bear such an unreasonable burden, similar considerations may apply as regards the award by that State of education or training grants to students wishing to study in other Member States (Morgan and Bucher, paragraphs 43 and 44 and the case-law cited).
