Deutschlandstipendium at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar

Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, Germany

Scholarship overview

The Deutschlandstipendium has supported excellent students at Bauhaus-Universität Weimar since winter 2011, under the national Stipendienprogramm-Gesetz (StipG) and Stipendienprogramm-Verordnung (StipV). Half of the funding comes from the federal government and half from private sponsors.

Scholarships go to students who have produced, or are expected to produce, outstanding work in their studies or professions and are enrolled at the university. At least 20 scholarships are funded from April 2026 through sponsors including foundations, companies, the Freundeskreis der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar and private donors. The number can change with ongoing fundraising.
