Application period
The the Germany Scholarship and its selection criteria
The Germany Scholarships are monthly scholarships, provided by the Federal Government and private sponsors (companies, foundations, associations, individuals) for students who are enrolled at the UHH and
- have very good school and / or academic performance
- are involved in volunteer work / social engagement
- have difficult access to studies (so-called hurdles in the educational biography such as origin from a non-academic family, financial circumstances, migration or refugee background, illness, disability, caring for their own children or relatives in need of care, etc.)
- deal with the topic of "sustainability" in the broadest sense.
Anyone who receives a Germany Scholarship should be interested in keeping contact with his or her sponsor. Another requirement is the willingness to participate in the accompanying program.
High-performing students with a refugee background who are enrolled at the UHH can also apply for Germany Scholarships at the UHH.
The Germany Scholarships are advertised across the university at UHH each October/November. Outside of these application deadlines, you cannot apply and consultancy is not available.
Students who don't want to miss and would like to be informed about the start of the next application round, please send an email to deutschlandstipendium"AT"uni-hamburg.de.
The Deutschlandstipendium is granted for one year. However, it is possible to apply for an extension. If the extension is approved and applied for again after one year, students can be financed over several years until they complete their studies.
