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 autumn. 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@uni-hamburg.de.

Personal counselling

We only offer personal counselling before and during the application period from 12 October to 16 November 2022. We do not offer counselling outside of these times.

During the upcoming application process, personal counselling will only take place by phone (+49 (0)172 186 9027).
