Scholarships are awarded on the basis of talent and performance.

In addition to previous achievements and personal career to date, other criteria should be taken into account, such as society commitment, willingness to take on responsibility, or special social, family, or personal circumstances resulting, for example, from family origin or a migrant background.

The online form gives you the opportunity to select the criteria that suit you and provide more detailed information. Please note that all your details must be documented.

The documents of professional commitment should show

• what achievement or activity you have accomplished,
• when you received the recognition or the period in which you pursued the activity and
• which institution issued the document.

The documents for extracurricular commitment should show

• what service or activity you have provided,
• the amount of time you spent on it (hours per week over months or years) and
• which institution issued the document.

If special personal or family circumstances such as illnesses and disabilities, the care of your own children or close relatives in need of care, a migration background and other special features of your biography represent a significant challenge for your educational path, you can also provide information on this.

You can use medical reports, birth certificates of your children, evidence of your work in caring for relatives, official documents and letters of reference from the psychosocial counselling service of the Studierendenwerk, church university communities or similarly recognised institutions as supporting documents. - Please do not request certificates from the faculties.

We provide you with an updated online application form for each application procedure. In it, we ask you to provide the necessary information about yourself, your course of study and your academic and extracurricular commitments as part of the selection procedure.

You will receive detailed information on the required documents specifically for the respective selection procedure together with the online form. Changes are to be expected.
