  • ProTalent- Grant Program of the WWU

    Pro Talent is based upon the North-Rhine-Westphalian Grant Program as well as the Federal Government's Germany Grant (Deutschlandstipendium). ProTalent applies to all students of the WWU who have had excellent grades, including beginning students whose previous grades indicate continuous academic excellence. Grantees receive 300€ each month.

    Selection criteria are first and foremost the academic achievement of the applicant. In addition, special successes, accolades, and awards as well as extra-school and extradisciplinary social engagement can be determining factors. The same is true of extenuating personal or family circumstances.

    Please be aware that the support via this University grant programme is not possible if you are already receiving a grant from another agency. That grant may not exceed 300€ on average per month.

    Further information and tips on the application can be found here. Only available in German.
