The decision on the awarding of a Deutschlandstipendium at the University of Bremen for the winter semester will be made by the Scholarship Council in October, divided into undergraduate (Bachelor, State Examination in Law) and postgraduate courses (Master).

Awarding of the Deutschlandstipendium

The decision will be communicated to all applicants at the beginning of the winter semester.

The period of eligibility for the Deutschlandstipendium is one year. The notice of award also states the amount of the scholarship and the maximum period of sponsorship.
