Partially funded

Deutschlandstipendium at Philipps-Universität Marburg

Philipps University of Marburg, Germany

Scholarship overview

The Deutschlandstipendium supports talented and high-achieving students at Marburg with a monthly stipend, funded half by the federal government and half by private donors. It is a supplement to other study funding.

International students may apply. Applicants can be admitted but not yet enrolled students, or current students. Awards are made once a year at the start of the winter semester; there is no summer round.

The award does not depend on your own or your parents' income, and there are no obligations to sponsors such as internships and no repayment after graduation.

Award Information

  • Admitted to a Marburg study place but not yet enrolled, or currently enrolled with at least two semesters of standard study time remaining.
  • Bachelor, state exam, Magister, Diplom, second or supplementary degrees, Master's, and part-time or dual programmes are eligible; doctoral candidates are excluded.
  • International students may apply.
  • First-semester Master's students can submit their Bachelor's certificate as proof of achievement.
  • Pre-enrolled applicants are funded only if enrolled at Marburg when funding begins.
  • Not available if you already receive merit-based material funding averaging EUR 30 or more per month; non-financial support is allowed.
  • EUR 300 per month for one year; renewal by new application is possible.
  • Funded half by the federal government and half by private sponsors.
  • Can be combined with BAföG without deductions; no effect on child benefit; independent of income.
  • No payments during a leave-of-absence semester; a subject-related study-abroad semester (including ERASMUS with DAAD mobility grant) does not interrupt funding.

Applications usually open in April and funding always begins in the winter semester. The application module is open only during the application period; the current call is published on the university's Ausschreibung page.
