The aim of the graduation scholarship is to give foreign students who have fallen on hard times through no fault of their own the opportunity to complete their studies in a concentrated manner. The graduation scholarship is aimed at all foreign students who have achieved good academic results and will graduate within the current university year. Here, financial support is granted for a maximum of six months and paid for the last semester of your studies (graduation at the end of the summer semester: April - September).

The selection is based on the following criteria

  • personal circumstances, in particular proof of hardship through no fault of your own
  • completion of studies in the current academic year
  • motivation
  • academic performance.
