Partially funded

Deutschlandstipendium at HFF München

Hochschule für Fernsehen und Film München (HFF), Germany

Scholarship overview

The Deutschlandstipendium is a merit scholarship funded half by the federal government and half by private sponsors. HFF München has awarded six Deutschlandstipendien to its students every year since 2023 and plans to keep providing them in full. Each award is applied for anew every year.

The award supports students whose track record points to outstanding achievement in study and career. Achievement is defined broadly: excellent grades and academic results or awards count, as do social and political engagement, willingness to take responsibility, and overcoming obstacles in one's life or education path.

Sponsors may ask for a focus on particular aspects in the selection, such as financial need, international background or field of study. The 2023/24 private sponsors were Young Talent Foundation Berlin, Kelvin Film GmbH, Schwarz-Foundation gGmbH and one anonymous sponsor.
