Financial aid for international students
The University of Freiburg's International Office has funds to provide financial support to international students who find themselves, without fault of their own, in an unforeseen, temporary emergency situation. Please be aware that the University of Freiburg itself does not offer fully-funded scholarships.
There are two types of support
- "Studienabschlussbeihilfe": for international students (Bachelor/Master) in the graduation phase of their degree. The registration for the thesis has to be submitted as confirmation!
- "Promotionsabschlussbeihilfe": for international doctoral students who are about to finish their doctorate (a maximum of 6 months until thesis submission)
This financial aid is not a scholarship!
Who can apply
- international students with non-German nationality who are enrolled at the University of Freiburg with the aim of obtaining a degree (degree-seeking students)
- international doctoral students at the University of Freiburg
An application is NOT possible for
- exchange students
- students who (also) have German citizenship or who have aquired their university entrance qualification in Germany
- students who are abroad during the final phase of their studies
Prerequisites
