Selection process

Your chances to become a scholar

The highly performing and most committed students from all disciplines will be selected in a 2-stage selection process. Further achievements such as the overcoming of biographical obstacles will also be taken to account.

The scholarships are distributed to the faculties on the following ratio: 50% of the faculty size and 50% of the number of applicants of each faculty. Thus, the chances of receiving a scholarship are about the same in all faculties.

What criteria are used to award the scholarships?

The Studien-Service-Center selects applicants through a standardised method and then submits those applicants anonymised to a jury of the respective departments, which evaluate the applications according to the following criteria:

• Academic performance and progress
• Overcoming personal and social challenges
• Extra-curricular or extracurricular activities
• Personal and social competence

Distribution

In the funding year 2018/19 lasting from 1 October 2018 to 30 September 2019, 633 scholarships have been awarded.

The scholarships are distributed to the faculties in relation to the number of students of each faculty and the number of applications. The actual distribution to the faculties is as follows:

In case of a donation for at least one scholarship, sponsors can make a request concerning the degree program of the students which should be promoted. This so-called “Zweckbindung” is restricted to a maximum of 2/3 of the distributed scholarships.
