Scholarships not just for straight-A students!
Scholarships can help to finance your studies.
Scholarship funds are often not even applied for, or no application for a scholarship is attempted, because many people think that scholarships are only for straight-A students. This is not true, there are numerous scholarship providers in Germany for different target groups.
For example, talent, need, voluntary work, motivation or personal skills also count.
In addition to material support, the scholarships also include interesting non-material support in the form of seminars, stays abroad and networking contacts. Admission to and membership of a study foundation is proof of excellence and can have a very positive effect on your future career.
