Application start for the Deutschlandstipendium: Take advantage of opportunities now!
The final phase of the application period for the Deutschlandstipendium from the Studienfonds OWL Foundation begins on April 30, 2025. Those interested have until May 5th to submit their documents. The scholarship is aimed at students at Bielefeld University, Paderborn University, Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences, Ostwestfalen-Lippe University of Technology and the Detmold University of Music. Prospective students who would like to start studying at one of the universities mentioned in the coming winter semester are also eligible to apply. [aktuell.uni-bielefeld.de] reports that the funding amounts to 3,600 euros annually and that it is income-independent support that does not have to be repaid.
Applications are only possible via an online form. The selection criteria are based on school and academic achievements as well as voluntary commitment. Personal circumstances, such as caring for relatives or overcoming biographical hurdles, also play a role. Around 530 students currently receive funding with a total volume of around 1.8 million euros. Half of each scholarship is financed with 1,800 euros from federal funds and donations, with sponsors from the OWL region, including companies and foundations, being sought. [studienfonds-owl.de] emphasizes that the complete submission of application documents is a prerequisite for participation, as late submissions are not permitted.
Application process and necessary documents
To apply for the Deutschlandstipendium, students must submit some specific documents. This includes a signed letter of motivation, a CV, officially certified translations of foreign certificates and proof of commitment or awards. Optionally, applicants can provide information about social or family circumstances. The information collected must be uploaded in PDF format. Since the application deadline only runs until May 5, 2025, timely submission is essential. Inquiries about the application process should not be directed to the student secretariat; Instead, contact persons are available to clarify questions. [deutschlandstipendium.de] informed that the applications will be examined by selection committees, which will then recommend the best candidates.
A not insignificant aspect of the Deutschlandstipendium is that students who already receive a scholarship from a gifted scholarship organization are excluded from applying. A case-by-case assessment is necessary if further scholarships are being considered. Students who are enrolled at federal universities or administrative colleges with candidate salaries are also excluded. What is particularly noteworthy is that the Deutschlandstipendium does not count towards BAföG or other social benefits, which improves the students' financial situation. In addition, the scholarship is generally not taxable.
The application phase for the Deutschlandstipendium offers a valuable opportunity to receive financial support and new perspectives. Anyone who meets the criteria mentioned and would like to take part in the funding program should take care of the necessary documents before the deadline expires and submit them on time. Information about the sponsors and the ideal funding program is also available on the OWL Study Fund website.
