Here we list the scholarships currently on offer that may be of relevance to you. Please do not hesitate to apply! Some scholarships are not fully exploited due to a lack of applications. Here is a little help in finding your way through the scholarship jungle:
STATE STUDY FUNDING
State funding not only includes granting study grants for studies in Germany, but also supports studies abroad. There is also the possibility of receiving various grants.
For people who have already been working for a long time before starting their studies and who have maintained themselves, there is a so-called self-support grant. Students who have previously worked alongside their studies and would like to give up their work temporarily in order to devote themselves entirely to their degree can apply for an ESF graduation grant.
There are also numerous regulations for students with children that are intended to make it easier to finance a degree.
Student grant recipients also have the opportunity to take advantage of other funding measures (e.g. travel allowances, insurance contributions or study support).

The Marshall Plan Jubilee Foundation awards scholarships to students at the Montan University who do research or study at a U.S. Want to graduate from a partner university.

The scholarship is awarded for a stay of 3 - 5 months and ranges between € 3000 and € 10,000 depending on the duration and requirements of the study / research program. Nominated candidates receive a "study contract" from the foundation with which 80% of the total amount is transferred to the students in advance and the remaining 20% are paid out after the university has confirmed the success. A research report or a transcript and a confirmation of the actual length of stay must be submitted after the end of the stay. Applications can be submitted to the International Relations organizational unit. Submission deadlines are October 1st and March 1st. The recommendation of a professor and a confirmation of admission or supervision from the partner university must be enclosed with the application form.

Lateral thinker scholarships
It is not just good grades that determine personal and professional success. From our point of view, people achieve a lot more by thinking outside the box and thus leaving the beaten path. There are numerous examples of this (including Steve Jobs, Gottlieb Daimler). There are some scholarships for top performance. Lateral thinkers don't always have the best grades and so fall through the cracks. That is why we want to support them in particular. As the first QUERDENKER scholarships, we are awarding 7 partial scholarships with a total value of € 5,000 for internships abroad, language trips and work on the topic of German language to schoolchildren, students, trainees and adults who are willing to continue training, and we are looking for suitable applicants. Further scholarships will follow.
