Scholarship foundations and organisations promoting young talent

Thirteen major scholarship organisations have established a joint programme called "Stipendium plus". In addition to denomination-based foundations, these include political, union-affiliated, economic and independent foundations, all of which receive funding from the German federal government. The Stiftung Begabtenförderung offers special Professional Advancement scholarships [de] which are awarded to students who have demonstrated their professional skills in a previous career training programme.
Although good grades are an essential component of the selection process, the scholarship providers also consider the applicants' personal circumstances and their (community-service) commitment.
For more information and advice on specific scholarship foundations, application requirements and the prospects of receiving a scholarship, visit the Student Advice and Counselling Centre [de]

ProTalent - WWU Scholarship programme

With financing provided by external sponsors (e.g. companies, private persons) and the federally funded "Deutschlandstipendium" programme, the University of Münster awards high-achieving students ProTalent scholarships every year. The monthly allowance of 300 euros helps offset the cost of study and is gratefully received by more and more deserving students each year.
