Scholarship Opportunitites
Funding Opportunities for Students in General
Students who are planning to spend a semester abroad have several financing options at their disposal.
First of all, check what capital you have at your disposal. These include savings, subsidies from parents or private funds provided (e.g. by relatives).
Furthermore, every German is basically entitled to Auslands-BAföG [only available in German]. This stands and falls with the height of the income of your parents.
If all these options are not sufficient, you can apply for further funding depending on the chosen goal and the special programmes available. Current tenders can be found here.
You can find more information here on our website or for your individual situation in a consultation at the International Office.
