How selection works

The Ständige Jury of the HfM decides after an audition of about 15 minutes and on the basis of the documents. Applicants who do not meet the foundation's criteria, especially financial need and the age limit, are not invited. The form asks for detailed income and asset information, and the university may spot-check and request bank statements.
