The application, including all required documents (see 'How do I apply for a scholarship?'), must be submitted in full to the University by 1 November at the latest.

Special personal circumstances such as caring responsibilities (e.g. caring for family members, bringing up children) will be taken into account for all criteria.

Funding for first-time enrolment in a Master's degree programme is only possible in exceptional cases (e.g. first degree in Germany, change of degree programme to a STEM subject).
