We offer three different scholarships for enrolled international students: The graduation scholarship, the scholarship for especially committed international students, and the scholarship for greater equality of opportunity. These are exclusively for students who are considered “foreign students,” i.e., persons with foreign citizenship and a university entrance qualification (HZB) obtained abroad.
All students with foreign citizenship are eligible to apply. However, if you also have German citizenship, you are unfortunately not eligible to apply.
If you already receive a full scholarship from the DAAD or another public organization, you are unfortunately not eligible to apply for this scholarship. However, if you receive a partial scholarship, we will be happy to review your individual case to determine whether further funding is possible.
Further information
The scholarships are not offset against BAföG benefits – both benefits can be received independently of each other.
As we only have a limited amount of funding available and often receive a large number of suitable applications, we are unable to support all applicants. Scholarships are awarded for a minimum of one month and amount to at least €250 per month. The exact amount may vary depending on the funds available.
The selection committee includes representatives from both departments, the rectorate, the International Office, and the Office of Student Affairs. Further information can be found here (information currently only in German).
