Requirements
- Eligible applicants include students with outstanding grades (evidence must be provided in the form of an official, up-to-date transcript of marks (Notenspiegel) from the Examination Office), as well as talented students from educationally underprivileged backgrounds (neither parent has attained a qualification higher than a school-leaving certificate) and “first-generation students” (students who are the first in their family to study). Provision of this information is voluntary.
- First-semester students applying for a scholarship must provide their university entrance qualification (Abitur or similar). International first-semester students are required to submit a German translation.
- Students who have particularly difficult starting and overall conditions for study because they have fled another country are also eligible to apply for funding. Evidence that this is the case must be provided.
