„Take advantage of this offer! Performance pays off! Promotion of excellence requires a strong community! Encourage yourself to strive for outstanding achievement through a scholarship!“
Germany Scholarships were first introduced at German universities in Summer Semester 2011. Fifty percent of the scholarship is financed by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, the other half by companies, foundations and private citizens.
Up to eight percent of all students (160,000) at German universities are to benefit nationwide from the Germany Scholarship, whereby the number of recipients is set to increase on a continuous basis.
As a general rule, students receive € 300 a month for two semesters or until no later than the end of their regular period of study. This financial aid does not depend on income levels and can be received in addition to BAföG aid.
This support helps young people improve their living and learning conditions. It promotes creative minds and contributes to combating the threat of skilled labour shortages.
Since 2011 a number of 1,291 scholarships have been awarded (see history).
