Award round 2022/23:
For the twelfth time, we were able to award the German Scholarship at the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences in the winter semester 2023/24. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the sponsors and companies without whom the German Scholarship would not be possible!
Due to the large number of sponsors, 31 scholarships could be awarded in the current winter semester. A total of 166 applications were received for the application round. The procedural grade range of the scholarships is between 1.0 and 1.6, depending on the purpose.


Timetable/process schedule:

Application deadline: As a rule, you can always apply for a German Scholarship in September of each year. After the application deadline, it is no longer possible to change or submit application documents under any circumstances. The application must be submitted online. You will then receive a cover sheet with information on the application documents to be submitted in paper form. Please note that you will not receive confirmation of receipt of your documents! If you require this, you must send the documents by registered mail. Your documents will be kept for 12 months and will then be destroyed.

Selection of the scholarship holders: After reviewing the application documents, the scholarship holders are usually selected at the end of October by a decentralized selection committee headed by the Dean of Studies, Prof. von Tiedemann. The selection committee awards the scholarships based on the procedural grades and taking into account the existing earmarking from sponsoring companies. At the same time, possible successors are determined in the event that a scholarship holder does not take up the full funding period.

Notifications to scholarship holders: If you receive a scholarship, you will be notified in writing by the university. The faculty will not provide any information at this point. Scholarship notifications are sent centrally by e-mail and contain a declaration of acceptance (IMPORTANT: please provide your correct, current address!). The declaration of acceptance of the scholarship must be returned to the central administration.


Payment usually begins in December retroactively for the months October to December. Subsequently, the scholarship holders receive the payment at the end of each month.
