The Baden-Württemberg Scholarship
Nowadays, international experience, language skills and understanding of other cultures are more important for school, studies and career than ever before. The Baden-Württemberg Scholarship programme therefore provides specific support to enable qualified young people to take part in a placement abroad and so to broaden their personal horizons. Each year, exchanges involving about 1,200 scholarship holders are "promoted". That makes the Baden-Württemberg Scholarship a unique programme in Germany. Objective The choice of the study location abroad is determined following consultation between the universities/universities of cooperative education of Baden-Württemberg and the faculties or scientists in their foreign counterparts. As a rule, agreements should be made on an exchange for an academic year and with exemption from tuition fees. Duration of Scholarship and amount of support The duration of a scholarship is a minimum of four months and a maximum of 11 months. For undergraduate students (stage I studies, bachelor’s degree), a scholarship amounting to €400 - €800 can be granted per month. Post-graduate students (pre-diploma qualification or intermediate examination + 2 semesters, master’s degree, doctorate) can receive up to €1,200 per month. The duration of the scholarship lasts 3 to 6 months for students at universities of co-operative education and amounts to €100 - €800 (scholarships will only be awarded during the theory phases).
