Finances play a central role when you plan a course of study
at the University of Cologne. There are many different establishments and
organisations to which you can apply as a foreign or graduate student for
individual grants or scholarships. Scholarship databases such as
the DAAD scholarship database offer you a comprehensive
overview of different scholarship programmes, taking into account your country
of origin and your subject area.
The standards are very different, but in the majority of cases the deciding
factor is academic potential and not financial need.
Please note:
• study beginners have relatively little
chance to be awarded a scholarship. Scholarships are awarded mainly to advanced
students, most of all to students of Master and PhD programs.
• the funding of the complete studies is only possible in
exceptional cases.
If you already look for scholarship opportunities in
your home country, please consult:
• the German Embassy or Consulate.

The University of Cologne offers a scholarship program for German and international
students. The program consists of three grants:

Bundes

(social scholarship)

All grants are of 300 €/month and are awarded depending the academic
performance. For the "Sozialstipendium" and the "Stipendium für
Studierende mit Behinderung oder chronischer Erkrankung" social criteria
are decisive as well.
