Federal scholarship programs

This program was launched at state and state-approved universities in Germany in the summer semester of 2011. It is designed to support talented and high-achieving students. As well as excellent academic results, the criteria for awarding a scholarship include social commitment and special personal achievements, such as a student overcoming obstacles in his or her educational career.

Each successful candidate will receive €300 per month; €150 supplied by private sponsors and €150 by the federal government. As much as possible, the Germany Scholarship is designed to support students throughout the standard period of study. It is provided for a duration of at least two semesters. http://www.bmbf.de/en/14332.php

The online application form and information about the list of documents required for application can be found at  http://www.hof-university.de/studierende/studienfoerderung/stipendien/deutschlandstipendium.html

The BMBF offers individuals with employment experience support with taking up studies in higher education ("Advancement Scholarship" Programme). The goal is to uncover the potential talents of qualified workers and to help them become high-performing specialists.
