Email: info@studienstiftung.de

Who is eligible for funding?
Particularly gifted and proactive students and doctoral researchers who demonstrate excellent achievements and a strong sense of responsibility.

How do I apply?

Until recently, funding by Studienstiftung des Deutschen Volkes was available only to individuals who were put forward for consideration by their head teacher (in the case of secondary school graduates), one of their teachers at university (in the case of university students; university students must have at least two semesters remaining before the end of the standard length of their programmes), or their thesis supervisor (in the case of doctoral researchers).

In the winter semester 2009/2010, Studienstiftung has started accepting applications submitted by students or doctoral researchers themselves. Students in their 1st or 2nd subject semester are invited to apply and sign up for the selection test at
https://www.studienstiftung.de/studienfoerderung/bewerbung-und-auswahl/selbstbewerbung/

On that page, you will also find more information about the procedure.

Pre-selected applicants for funding under other programmes or doctoral scholarships will be invited for personal interviews. The final decision on who is awarded funding will be made by independent committees. The applicants’ political opinions, beliefs, religious affiliations, gender as well as economic and social backgrounds will not be taken into consideration.
