​ 
With the Graduation Scholarship we aim to enable qualified foreign students to concentrate on their studies and the forthcoming graduation through financial support.

The funding period and the amount of the scholarship depend on the funds available and the time of your graduation.


The scholarship amount is up to € 934 per month and is awarded for up to six months. The maximum total grant is € 5.604. There is no legal entitlement to funding.

Please note: If you work while studying and earn more than € 538 gross per month, the scholarship will be reduced.
