Requirements

• Talented students (male/female/diverse) are selected based on their academic background and commitment, particularly those whose limited financial resources hinder their ability to focus on completing their studies efficiently.
• Applicants are also expected to have demonstrated a willingness to engage in social activities – for example, by supporting other students with their integration into the university and their community.
• Applicants should credibly articulate their intention to contribute to development in their home country after completing their education or doctorate, or to mentor young students themselves. This intention should be clearly stated in the application for support.

The aim is to give preferential consideration to foreign students from disadvantaged, non-EU countries, enabling them to enter into further studies as postgraduate students at the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences at the University of Hohenheim.

Students (m/f/d) are eligible to apply if they do not have other means of support to adequately cover their living expenses.

• the State University of Music and Performing Arts Stuttgart, who have usually already passed a corresponding examination
