Scholarships

Where can I get information about scholarships & student loans?

A good place to start is to seek advice on scholarships and other funding like BAFöG or student loans at the Campus Center, at the advisor on financial questions at PIASTA or at the Studierendenwerk, who are responsible for BAFöG, but they also list other excellent possibilities on their website.

Can I get a scholarship?

Since tuition fees are already subsidized, there are no full scholarships offered by the University of Hamburg. If you are looking for a scholarship, check whether there are funding programs in your own country that offer scholarships for foreign studies. The German DAAD offers scholarships for foreign students that want to study in Germany and a database of available programs can be found on the DAAD webpage.

Many funding programs in Germany are aimed at German students, but some are also available for foreign students under certain conditions (e.g. merit scholarships). They usually offer partial funding for a limited time or a limited target group. You can find funding options again on the following uni-wide websites: Fees and Financing and Merit, Degree completion
