Overview SRH Universities in Germany offer a diverse range of scholarships to support talented, motivated, and socially engaged students. These scholarships come from both SRH’s own internal programmes and external or governmental sources such as DAAD, PROMOS, and the Deutschlandstipendium.   Some scholarships are designed specifically for international students, while others are open to all students who meet the eligibility criteria.   Major SRH Scholarships for International Students 1. SRH Scholarships (Heidelberg and all SRH locations) These are full scholarships in which tuition fees are completely waived for the standard period of study.   They are available to prospective or current students at SRH Heidelberg (and other SRH campuses). To qualify, applicants must belong to at least one of the following six categories: Students with families Students with disabilities Young entrepreneurs Talented pupils or students Students with exceptional social commitment Master’s students   Applicants must also meet the official entry requirements for their chosen programme. Dual-degree programmes are excluded.   For non-EEA students, it is possible to apply using a Pre-Admission Letter, but by the time the scholarship committee meets (around mid-October for the winter semester), you must have your Final Admission Letter and proof that your tuition fees have been paid. If you are later awarded the scholarship, SRH will refund the tuition fees you already paid.   For EEA students, you need to have signed the study contract and paid the enrolment fee before the committee meeting.   2. Deutschlandstipendium (Germany Scholarship) The Deutschlandstipendium is a prestigious, nationwide scholarship programme supported jointly by the German government and private sponsors.   Recipients receive €300 per month (non-repayable) for at least two semesters and up to the standard duration of study.   All nationalities and study fields at SRH University Heidelberg and other SRH locations are eligible. The scholarship is open to both first-year and continuing students. Part-time and dual-degree students may also qualify, although doctoral students are not eligible.   3. STIBET Scholarships (DAAD / Federal Foreign Office) The STIBET scholarship programme, funded by DAAD and the German Federal Foreign Office, provides targeted support to international students at SRH.   This includes monthly financial assistance (for example, around €700 per month) as well as mentoring, cultural events, and administrative support such as visa or residence permit guidance.   STIBET scholarships at SRH Berlin are offered in two main categories: Graduation or Final Semester Scholarships, for students in their final semesters who have demonstrated outstanding academic performance. Engagement Scholarships, for students who have shown exceptional involvement in volunteer work, student life, or intercultural projects.   These scholarships are available only to international students (non-German nationals) enrolled full-time in Bachelor’s or Master’s programmes.   4. SRH Berlin / Dresden / Hamburg Partial Scholarships SRH also offers partial scholarships that reduce tuition fees by up to 50%, usually for the first study year.   These are available for selected Bachelor’s and Master’s programmes at SRH Berlin, SRH Dresden, and SRH Hamburg.   Applicants must already hold an acceptance letter from SRH Berlin and demonstrate strong motivation and exceptional ability. The university looks for qualities that make a student “stand out,” such as academic excellence, a creative or professional portfolio, entrepreneurial spirit, or meaningful social involvement.   Some partial scholarships are tailored to specific study areas, for example: Performance Scholarship Talent Scholarship Women in Tech Scholarship   Other Funding and External Opportunities In addition to SRH’s internal scholarships, students can explore external funding options that support study and mobility across Germany and abroad. PROMOS (DAAD Programme) – Designed for students who wish to spend a semester or complete an internship abroad. It provides travel and monthly allowances to help with living costs during the stay. Erasmus+ Mobility – Supports international academic mobility and internships within Europe. SRH’s International Office manages Erasmus+ opportunities and helps students with the application process. Baden-Württemberg Scholarship – Offers monthly funding for international exchange students from abroad or from Baden-Württemberg to spend a semester at a partner university. HAW.International / International Research Experience @ SRH – Aimed at Master’s and doctoral students who wish to combine research with a stay abroad. Funding can cover accommodation and other costs for up to six months. SRH also lists external scholarship databases and funding search portals (including DAAD and private foundations) on its student financing pages, providing additional avenues for merit-based or need-based financial support.   What Eligibility Usually Requires While each scholarship has its own conditions, several common factors appear across most SRH scholarships, especially for international students: Admission or Enrolment Proof: You typically need a Final Admission Letter or signed study contract, and proof of paid enrolment fees by the time scholarship decisions are made (often mid-October for winter intake). Academic Excellence: Strong academic results or a very good GPA are essential. For example, the “Talented Student” category often requires top school or university grades. Motivation and Documentation: A clear, well-written letter of motivation explaining why you deserve the scholarship and what sets you apart is crucial. Some categories may also require a portfolio, proof of social engagement, or records of volunteer and leadership activities. Nationality or Residency: Some scholarships are exclusively for non-German nationals, while others include both international and EEA/EU students. Non-EEA applicants may have extra administrative steps to complete. Deadlines: Most scholarships, especially full or major SRH awards, have strict and short application windows, often between mid-July and mid-August. Partial first-year scholarships may have rolling or short-notice deadlines, so applicants should monitor their emails closely. Other Conditions: Dual-degree programmes are usually excluded, and scholarships generally cover only the standard study period. If you extend your programme, you may need to cover additional costs yourself.
