Support for your course of studies
With the Deutschlandstipendium, the federal government, private sponsors and Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences support your course of studies. The scholarship aims to support all students in the standard period of study. Grades are the central criterion for awarding the scholarship, but personal circumstances and commitment are also taken into account. Your own financial background does not play a role! The Deutschlandstipendium generally supports you for two semesters with 300 euros per month. Private sponsors pay 150 euros and the federal government contributes 150 euros. Re-application is possible. If you perform consistently, funding is possible until the end of the standard period of study.
In addition to the financial aspect, the Deutschlandstipendium also offers a non-material component. Lectures and workshops as part of the accompanying program allow you to think out of the box and develop your own skills. There is also the opportunity to come into contact with "your sponsor" and gain valuable insights into professional practice. As a scholarship holder, you benefit from the expertise of the sponsoring companies and foundations and also have the opportunity to get involved. This results in further advantages, e.g. when looking for internships, theses or working student jobs. As a scholarship holder, you also have access to the Deutschlandstipendium e.V. network.
Applications possible again in summer semester 2026
The application for the Deutschlandstipendium is conveniently made online and is open to all students and first-year students. Students must be at least one semester into the standard period of study when the scholarship begins. In addition, no other funding may be received that exceeds 30 euros per month (BAföG, student loans and mobility grants for internships and stays abroad are excluded from this). The next application period is expected to run in May/June 2026.
