Deutschland Scholarship
There are many people who achieve outstanding performance even at a young age. The Deutschland Scholarship is intended to support excellent students and aims to give them the opportunity for social commitment and personal development alongside their studies. During the funding period 2025/2026, the university was able to award 146 Deutschland Scholarships. Scholarship holders receive EUR 300 per month – one half from the federal government and the other half from private sponsors and funding organizations. In addition to receiving financial funding, it is possible for scholarship holders to stay in close contact with the sponsors which facilitates further, non-material support.
