Who can apply for a germany scholarship?

You can apply for the Germany Scholarship if you belong to one of the following categories:

  • New students who would like to begin their studies at Heidelberg University in the winter semester,
  • Students who want to transfer to Heidelberg University in a higher semester or begin a Master's degree programme in the winter semester,
  • Students enrolled at Heidelberg University (except for short-term students, doctoral students, students in the preliminary induction German course or the preparatory course (Studienkolleg)).

Anyone receiving aptitude or performance-based financial support of 30 euros or more per month on average cannot receive a Germany Scholarship, even if approved. You can still apply for a Germany Scholarship if you are receiving other support in the amount specified above, but if approved, you must choose one or the other. Since BAföG is income-related, it is not considered as another support.
Note: New and continuing medical informatics students apply at Heilbronn University for the Germany Scholarship.
