•  You do not have German citizenship.

Students with child(ren) are given preferential consideration.

Additional criteria for the various scholarships

Scholarship for more equal opportunities:
 You have to overcome special challenges during your studies (e.g. refugees, people with disabilities, people with chronic illnesses, people with special care situations for children (0 - 12 y.o.) or family members in need of care).

Scholarship for special commitment:
 You can demonstrate outstanding commitment in an international context (including voluntary work).

Scholarship for graduation:
 A successful graduation is expected within 12 months.

The funding period (between 1 and 6 months) and funding amount (between € 250 and € 992 per month) will only be determined after the applications received have been reviewed. The duration and amount of the scholarship are adapted to the available funds.

Scholarship holders may earn up to €556 gross. If the additional income exceeds this amount, the scholarship will be reduced accordingly so that the total amount of the scholarship and additional income does not exceed €1,548 per month.

Important: Payment of the full scholarship amount is not guaranteed.
