Scholarships 

Various German foundations award scholarships to dedicated students with excellent academic performance. Some scholarship programs are specifically targeted at students from certain fields of study or countries. Some scholarships focus on even more specific groups, such as student mothers or non-academic backgrounds. In addition to academic excellence, other factors such as engagement in volunteering can also make a strong case for scholarship applicants. In exchange for the scholarship, recipients are usually required to complete their studies quickly and with excellent results, submit annual reports on their academic progress, and participate in seminars or workshops organized by the scholarship foundation.

As most scholarships are funded by German state, most scholarship programs primarily support German students and by extension, EU students. A complete list of foundations awarding scholarships can be found here. 

For international students, scholarships of the German Exchange Service (DAAD) are of particular interest. The DAAD offers scholarships for students in all fields of study and from all countries wishing to study in Germany. Please note that scholarship applications generally must be submitted from the home country. Students who have already been in Germany for more than 15 months are unfortunately not eligible to apply for a DAAD scholarship. For more information, please visit the DAAD contact points in your home country.

International students can also receive information on other scholarships and financial support options, including assistance in short-term financial emergencies, at the University’s International Office.

Important: If you wish to apply for a scholarship, it is important to start early. Many scholarship organizations have fixed application deadlines, and the selection process usually takes several months.
