What is a scholarship and who has the right to get one?
Scholarships are financial grants from private companies or the state which you do not have to pay back. It is important to know that everyone is entitled to a scholarship and that they are not only awarded to highly gifted students! In most cases, however, some requirements must be met such as political and/or social commitment. In return for the financial support, scholarship holders usually have to take part in the events offered on a compulsory basis.
There are different types of scholarships, such as partial or full scholarships:
Full scholarships:
– Complete financing of the studies
Partial scholarships:
– e.g. in the amount of 300€ per month, which can be an important step towards financing your studies.
