Deutschlandstipendium
Folkwang University of the Arts will be awarding Deutschlandstipendium scholarships for the winter semester 2024/25. Half of each scholarship grant is funded by a private sponsor while the other half is provided by the state. With the agreement of both parties, non-material support from private sponsors can be part of the Deutschlandstipendium. Funding begins on 1. October 2024, ends on 30. September 2025 and amounts to € 300 per month. It is expected that 60 scholarships will be awarded.
Eligibility criteria
Students who are regularly enrolled at the Folkwang University of the Arts are eligible for funding, regardless of their nationality. Doctoral and exchange students as well as free movers and guest auditors cannot be funded. Double sponsorship (i.e. the simultaneous receipt of another merit or talent scholarship; social scholarships will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis) is excluded. Students can only be funded if they fulfil all the funding criteria listed here for the duration of at least one academic year (from Oct. 2024).
In the Deutschlandstipendium selection process, both academic performance (or expected academic performance for first-year students) and further criteria are taken into account (see StipV § 2, para. 2):
_particular successes, awards and prizes, a previous professional career and internships
_extracurricular commitments such as voluntary work, social, university or political commitment or participation in associations, clubs or religious communities
_particular personal or family circumstances such as illnesses and disabilities, providing care work to one's own children (especially as a single parent) or close relatives, working in a family business, employment, (social) origin/identity or international biography
