What are the criteria for the allocation of scholarships?

The Deutschlandstipendium is mainly about talent and performance! However—apart from your personal background and achievements—your social commitment, willingness to take responsibility, and special social, family-related, and personal circumstances are also taken into consideration.

The Scholarship Committee of the Senate will then select the strongest applications. The committee is made up of the following:

  • Members of the Academic Affairs Committee;
  • Equal Opportunities Officer; and
  • Head of Division for Student Affairs.

Applications approved by the Scholarship Committee are subject to further approval by the Vice-President for Learning and Teaching, who then grants the scholarships.

By accepting a scholarship, you agree to immediately report any relevant changes, e.g.:

  • if you intend to change your study programme or university;
  • if you are unable to complete your studies within the standard duration of your programme;
  • if you take a break or withdraw from your studies; or
  • if you complete your studies as planned.
