Scholarships for students

Finding a suitable scholarship is not easy due to the abundance of possible scholarship providers. In addition to the organisations for the promotion of gifted students, there is a large number of scholarship-awarding foundations. We would like to provide you with an initial overview and further information centres.

Databases for researching scholarships

There are a large number of scholarships and funding opportunities, such as the Germany Advancement Scholarship or the Further Education Scholarship, which are offered by both major scholarship providers as well as from smaller foundations. It is definitely worth looking at the smaller scholarship providers, as the chances of receiving a scholarship there are often greater. The following databases can help with your research: the private initiative www.mystipendium.de, www.stipendiendatenbank.de from e-fellows.net,
the electronic research funding information www.elfi.info/studentenservice.php

Valuable tips and information can also be found here: www.arbeiterkind.de.

If you would like to search for foundations, you can do so in the foundation database of the Association of German Foundations (www.stiftungsindex.de) or in the database of the Maecenata Institute (www.stiftungsdatenbank.info).
