25 years - 25 scholarships - NOTENUNABHÄNGIG!

GOstralia!-GOmerica! is celebrating its 25th GO!birthday in 2025 - and that's why we're making a big splash! Together with our partner universities abroad, we are awarding over 25 scholarships for a semester abroad in Australia, New Zealand and Southeast Asia , regardless of grade. In addition to full scholarships, which cover the entire tuition fees during your semester abroad, you can also apply for partial scholarships as well as scholarships for a free place in the university dormitory.
