Scholarships
In Germany, there are a large number of public and private scholarships for financing studies. They differ in their scope of benefits, selection criteria and area of application. In addition to above-average performance, social, voluntary and/or socio-political commitment are also decisive for the award of a scholarship.
Why should you apply for a scholarship? In addition to financial support for your studies, you will also benefit from networks and a wide range of events, including seminars, excursions, workshops and much more.
How do you find a suitable scholarship? Extensive research will help you to find the right scholarship. This page will give you an initial overview of the various funding opportunities and the counselling services available at HNU.
