The
Deutschlandstipendium supports highly talented students at all participating
universities in Germany. The scholarship is awarded without consideration of
personal or parent income and one’s nationality is not material to award
either. The scholarship funds do not count towards grants awarded under the
Federal Training Assistance Act (BAföG). There are no social insurance
contributions payable.
The
Deutschlandstipendium is awarded by the universities. Applicants must meet the
requirements of the individual institutions. In addition to academic
achievement, the criteria for selecting scholarship recipients include social
commitment and personal achievements, such as a student overcoming challenges
or obstacles in his or her social or family background.
