Become a scholarship holder

It's that simple

Scholarship holder Alina Weidenbrück

You have achieved good grades in your studies and can show a level of personal commitment, whether in social areas, politics, religious institutions or the environment? Do you have personal successes or special achievements to show, for example from competitions, in the form of international or professional experience? Or have you already had to overcome some hurdles on your way to or in your studies?

Then the Deutschlandstipendium is a great opportunity for you to receive funding of 300 euros per month to enable you to pursue extracurricular activities or your studies more effectively.

A straight A average is not a must to get a scholarship. Nor do you have to spend all your free time doing voluntary work to have a chance of getting a place. The semester abroad that is part of the degree programme is also no reason not to apply.

How to apply

The application phase for the 2024/2025 funding round has ended.

The selection process is expected to be completed in mid-September and all applicants will be informed whether or not they have been awarded a scholarship.

The next application phase will take place in 2025 between May and July. The exact start date will be announced shortly before.

What do I need for the application?

The application is made online via an application form.

The form asks you for personal data - such as your name, home address or where you obtained your higher education entrance qualification.

You also have the option of stating your personal commitment, personal achievements or/and your impairments. You can upload the relevant documents for these entries directly in the form, for example certificates, work references or attestations. It is best if you already have all these documents to hand!

In addition, a curriculum vitae in table form and a short letter of motivation are expected.

Very important! We need a signed declaration of participation from you so that we can view your data and you can take part in the selection process. You will also find this in the form as a download.

What can I score with?

The selection committee will award points for the following criteria:

 

1. Performance and talent
Maximum 30 achievable points.

  • for first-semester Bachelor: average grade of the university entrance qualification with special consideration of the individual grades relevant for the chosen field of study or special qualification entitling to study in the respective field of study
  • for first semester Master: final grade of the previous studies
  • for advanced Bachelor and Master students: academic achievements to date, in particular ECTS credits attained

 

2. Special achievements, awards and prizes, previous professional activities and internships
Maximum 7 achievable points.

 

3. Extracurricular involvement
Maximum 7 achievable points.

For example, voluntary work, social, university or political commitment, participation in religious societies, associations or clubs.

 

4. Special personal or family circumstances
Maximum 7 achievable points.

For example, illnesses, disabilities, caring for own children, especially as a single parent, caring for close relatives in need of care, working in a family business, working while studying, family background, migration background.

The general conditions for the individual sub-items, for example a minimum duration for a stay abroad are always indicated in the portal.

Frequently asked questions

  • As a rule, the scholarship lasts two semesters and always begins in the winter semester. The exception to this rule is for students who have moved up for scholarship places that become available in the summer semester. Latecomers receive funding for one semester at the beginning.

    After one year, you can apply for further funding. This gives you the opportunity to receive funding until the end of your standard period of study. The university will then check whether you still meet the eligibility criteria.

  • Unemployment or child benefits as well as BAföG remain unaffected. In the case of maintenance claims or housing benefit, however, the subsidy amount is counted as your own income.

  • Only if these do not exceed 30 euros per month and are not also dependent on performance or talent.

  • No. You do not have to repay the funds you received.

  • If the leave of absence is for personal reasons, the scholarship will be suspended for this period. In the case of a leave of absence that is part of your studies, for example due to a semester abroad or an internship, you will also receive the grant during this time.

  • No. The selection committee at HSB creates a ranking based on the defined criteria. This is then compared with the scholarship places to be awarded. Many of our scholarships are earmarked, i.e. the faculty or course of study for which the funds are provided is specified.

  • The Deutschlandstipendium is a support programme for committed students with a good grade point average. Therefore, there are two evaluation criteria: On the one hand, the achievements (Abitur grades for prospective students or credit points for students already enrolled), on the other hand, personal commitment and family or private circumstances.
