The Deutschlandstipendium at the University of Stuttgart 2024

About the scholarship:

The above scholarship is awarded to students who are in their graduation or have completed it with excellent grades. Apart from academic excellence the scholarship also considers soft achievements like volunteering and social or political engagement. Usually, the scholarship is for 1 year, but you can also extend it by requesting through the application form. 

How does the selection process work?

A scholarship is granted to those students, who are on top of a ranking list of the commission of their study program. There are scholarships bound to special study programs and unbound scholarships. The distribution of the unbound scholarships to Faculties 1 to 10 is determined by the rectorate. Each Faculty grants scholarships according to their ranking. The allocation of the application to the faculty is determined by the study program.

Determination of the ranking:

All paper applications are processed electronically. For each application, a preliminary rating is generated based on the self-declarations, and weighting of grades and additional criteria (in German: Anlage 1 (Profilraster) der Satzung der Universität Stuttgart für die Vergabe von Deutschlandstipendien (11. August 2011) [de]). All digitalized data are displayed in a preliminary ranking sorted for each Faculty. The grants commissions verify, correct if necessary, and then set up a final ranking.

Scholarship value: The scholarship offers 300 Euros per month as a stipend.
