Applicants can expect an innovation. From now on, applications for a Deutschlandstipendium scholarship can only be made online. The online application portal provided by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research is available for this purpose.

With the start of the application period, our website  which leads applicants to the DSTIP application server. It will be activated at the beginning of the application period from July 1 (9:00 a.m.) to August 16, 2020 (11:59 p.m.).

What is the Deutschlandstipendium?

The Deutschlandstipendium scholarship  supports talented and committed students at Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences. In addition to good grades or academic achievements, social commitment and special personal achievements - such as successfully overcoming hurdles in one's own educational biography or voluntary work in associations - also count towards the award. Awards and prizes received are also taken into account. In addition to achievements, the focus is on personality.

Even if social involvement in clubs and associations or active participation, e.g. in internal university committees, should be put on hold due to the current situation surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic - it is worth applying. But perhaps these activities have really taken off during this time? Interested students and first-year students should take the opportunity to apply for a Deutschlandstipendium scholarship.

Anyone who is enrolled at the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences or is applying for a study place can apply.

The Deutschlandstipendium amounts to 300 euros per month. 150 of this is provided by private sponsors such as companies, foundations, alumni and other private individuals. The other 150 euros are paid by the federal government.

The Deutschlandstipendium is paid directly to the scholarship holders by the universities. The funding is awarded regardless of income and can also be received in addition to BAföG. The regular approval period covers one academic year (01.09.2020 - 31.08.2021).
