DAAD STIBET Graduation Scholarship (Studienabschlussstipendium) at the University of Wuppertal

University of Wuppertal, Germany

Scholarship overview

Under the DAAD STIBET I programme, funded by the Federal Foreign Office, the International Office awards graduation scholarships to international students and doctoral candidates in the final phase of their studies who have fallen into financial difficulty through no fault of their own.

The aim is to let them concentrate on completing their degree or doctorate. Awards depend on available funds and there is no entitlement to funding.
