Deutschlandstipendium

Together with committed sponsors, the University of Cologne supports students with above-average performance with the Deutschlandstipendium. Particularly qualified first-year students as well as students in higher semesters and master's students receive 300 euros per month for at least two semesters. Private sponsors lay the foundation for each Deutschlandstipendium with their donations, and the German Government tops up the sum accordingly. As a scholarship holder, you have the opportunity to get to know your sponsor. You can find an overview of the current sponsors here (only available in German).

Awarding of the Scholarships

Students actively apply for a scholarship. To do so, they submit, among other things, their transcript of records, a CV and a cover letter. The scholarships are then awarded by a central Awarding Committee, which is formed by representatives from all Faculties and other bodies represented at the University. Their task is to submit proposals to the Rectorate for the awarding of the scholarships.
