The Baden-Württemberg Scholarship supports highly qualified German and international students in their exchange abroad. General information on the program, events and more can be found on the Baden-Württemberg Scholarship website.
Every year, the Baden-Württemberg Stiftung enables about 1,200 young people from all over the world to go abroad through the Baden-Württemberg Scholarship. Students from any program who want to use their semester at a partner university abroad to develop their subject knowledge and intercultural competencies, as well as students from partner universities who want to spend a semester at the University of Mannheim are eligible for the program. The foundation is not affiliated with a political party and is active in the areas of research, education, society and culture. It is their mission to promote a sustainable and forward-thinking Land of Baden-Württemberg.
Only students in a master’s or state examination program at the University of Mannheim who are planning a stay abroad outside of Europe during the fall and/or spring semester are eligible to apply for the Baden-Württemberg Scholarship. Free movers cannot apply.
Students in a bachelor’s program at the University of Mannheim can apply for the PROMOS Scholarship for a stay abroad in the same countries.
For stays in European countries, only the Erasmus program is available from the University of Mannheim.
Scholarship recipients are selected by the Baden-Württemberg Stiftung after pre-selection by the University of Mannheim. Scholarship notifications will be sent out in July for the fall semester and in December for the spring semester.
