Partially funded

Landesstipendium Niedersachsen at the University of Vechta

University of Vechta, Germany

Scholarship overview

Lower Saxony provides the University of Vechta with funds for one-off scholarships for students. Selection considers grades, social criteria and voluntary commitment inside and outside the university, not grades alone.

In 2025 the state provided funds for 41 scholarships of EUR 500 each; the university reports 46 awarded in 2024.

Award Information

  • Be enrolled in a Bachelor's or Master's programme at the University of Vechta and not on leave in winter semester 2025/26. First-semester students can apply.
  • Doctoral students are excluded.
  • Students already receiving another scholarship from public funds of Lower Saxony or the Federal Government in that semester, such as the Deutschlandstipendium, are excluded.
  • Earlier applications or awards do not exclude you; winners of public prizes (for example a Studentenwerk or DAAD prize) may apply.
  • EUR 500 as a one-off payment (2025 round).

2025 round: 28 October 2025 to 11 November 2025 (11:11). Late applications are not considered. Decisions were expected in December 2025. The next round is not yet published.
