What is the Germany Scholarship?

The Deutschlandstipendium supports talented and dedicated students at the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences. In addition to good grades and academic performance, the award process also considers social engagement and exceptional personal achievements—such as successfully overcoming obstacles in one’s educational journey or volunteering with organizations. Awards and prizes received are also taken into account. In addition to academic achievements, the focus is on the student’s character.

The Germany Scholarship amounts to 300 euros per month. Of this amount, 150 euros are provided by private sponsors such as companies, foundations, alumni, and other individuals. The remaining 150 euros are provided by the federal government.

The Deutschlandstipendium is paid directly to the recipients by the universities. The grant is awarded regardless of income and can also be received in addition to BAföG (German financial aid for students). The standard award period covers one academic year (September 1, 2023 – August 31, 2024).
