There are various options and ways to finance your studies. One attractive option for many students is a scholarship. The more than 3,000 different scholarships throughout Germany often support students not only financially, but also ideally. This means that in addition to financial support, there are also other offers, such as workshops, mentoring programs, or stays abroad, which vary depending on the scholarship provider and the needs of the scholarship holders. Finding the right scholarship is therefore not always easy.
