The University of Göttingen announced today that the application phase for the Germany Scholarship and the Lower Saxony Scholarship will open next September. The period for submitting applications is from September 1st to September 30th, 2025. These scholarships are aimed at all students at the University of Göttingen, with the exception of doctoral students.

The Deutschlandstipendium offers monthly funding of 300 euros for a period of one year. Half of the financing is secured by private sponsors and business, while the other part is provided by the federal government. In addition to financial support, scholarship holders also receive moral support through various courses and workshops that promote their personal and academic development.

Details about the scholarships

The Lower Saxony scholarship, also advertised, provides a one-off payment of 500 euros. This scholarship is financed by the state of Lower Saxony and a total of 267 scholarships are available for the winter semester 2025/2026. The scholarships will be paid out in December 2025. Students who start in Göttingen in the winter semester 2025/2026 can apply after they have enrolled, which significantly expands the options for financial support in the first semester.

In addition, it should be noted that the scholarships do not count towards BAföG, which makes them more attractive for many students. The websites provide further information and access to the application portals www.uni-goettingen.de/Deutschlandstipendium and www.uni-goettingen.de/niedersachsenstipendium available.

Further funding opportunities

In addition to the scholarships from the University of Göttingen, there are numerous other funding opportunities for students in Germany. The Hey Uni Platform provides comprehensive information about various scholarship providers that offer scholarships for undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate students. These scholarships cover a wide range of disciplines including engineering, medicine, humanities and much more.

The requirements for many scholarships usually include enrollment at a university and good to very good academic performance. Some scholarships additionally focus on financial need, citizenship, or specific disciplines. The variety of funding programs in Germany gives many students the opportunity to achieve their academic and professional goals.

Overall, the scholarships offered by the University of Göttingen and the additional programs listed offer valuable support for students who want to continue their education and develop their potential.
