With the Germany Scholarship (Deutschlandstipendium), the German government aims to support talented and high-achieving students. In fact, almost as many students are supported by the Germany Scholarship as by the 13 Organisations for the Promotion of gifted Students (Internal link opens in the same window:Begabtenförderungswerke) combined. In contrast to the scholarships awarded by the organisations for the promotion of gifted students, the Germany Scholarship is awarded by the universities. They can award places for the Germany Scholarship according to a fixed funding quota, which means that the number of scholarships is limited.
The Germany Scholarship is usually only awarded for one year, which is why you have to reapply for funding after one year. Sponsors can also tie a specific subject to their funding, which means that some of the Germany Scholarship scholarships are not open to all students.
Applications for the Germany Scholarships 2024/25 are open from 15 June to 30 June 2024. Enrolled students can find further details in FELIX.
