Benefits
FAU supports its top students as part of the Germany Scholarship (Deutschlandstipendium) programme. Each semester, scholarships of 3,600 euros for one year are awarded to the most gifted students. The unique feature of this scholarship is that half of the money comes from companies, donors, friends of the university and alumni, while the other half is provided by the German Federal State.
Students at FAU can apply for a Germany Scholarship once a year. Funding amounts to 300 euros per month and is initially granted for one or two semesters (the winter semester and the subsequent summer semester) which can be extended annually (from the next winter semester) until the end of the standard duration of the degree programme. Students must apply again to receive an extension.
Requirements
- Students who are already receiving a performance-based scholarship equivalent to over 30 euros per month are unfortunately not eligible for a Germany Scholarship.
- More information is available on the Deutschlandstipendium website.
- The most important condition for receiving an FAU Germany Scholarship are the results achieved so far during your studies.
- This means that students about to start an undergraduate degree programme who are applying for a Germany Scholarship for the first time must have a good result in their school leaving exams (2.0 or better).
- For students applying for a scholarship in the first semester of a postgraduate degree, the grade achieved in the undergraduate degree or in a certain combination of qualifications required for the postgraduate degree programme is used to select recipients of the scholarship (2.0 or better).
- Students in a later semester of an undergraduate or postgraduate degree programme who are applying for a Germany Scholarship at FAU for the first time must demonstrate that they have passed the number of credits required by the examination regulations for the semesters which have already been completed with an average grade of 2.0 or better (quantity and quality are used as the basis for selection).
- In exceptional circumstances which cause a student to extend the duration of their degree programme, such as in the case of disability or pregnancy, if the student has care duties or a child, or studies abroad, the maximum length of the scholarship may be extended upon request.
