International students at the KU from the 2nd semester onwards, master's students from the 1st semester onwards

Free mover students and students in the preparatory DSH intensive course are excluded from funding as well as students who were rejected in the first selection round (application deadline July 14).

The following types of scholarships are available:

1. Graduation scholarships: to achieve a successful degree within one year as well as to focus on studies and graduation for scholarship holders in need through no fault of their own.
2. Scholarships for special commitment: The prerequisite for funding is that the international students and doctoral candidates have performed well, but have also distinguished themselves through outstanding commitment in an international context at their university. The scholarship may not be linked to any service in return (no services, no employment, etc.).
3. Scholarships for more equal opportunities: for scholarship holders with special challenges in their studies (e.g. refugees, people with disabilities or chronic illnesses, people with special care situations for children and people in need of care).
