Scholarships

Scholarships offer highly qualified candidates financial and non-material support for their studies. A variety of scholarship opportunities exist for (future) Brandt School students. This scholarship page gives an overview of scholarships that are available to MPP candidates.

The DAAD's Helmut Schmidt Programme, funded by the German Federal Foreign Office, offers a limited number of scholarships to highly qualified applicants from the Global South to acquire a master’s degree in selected programmes, such as the Master of Public Policy at the Brandt School.

The Fulbright Transatlantic Diplomacy Program  (TAD) funds selected German MPP students to spend 4–9 months at a leading U.S. partner university, covering U.S. tuition fees and providing a substantial scholarship for living costs. 

We have also listed scholarship opportunties offered by other institutions, such as governments or foundations. This overview is by no means comprehensive, and MPP candidates are encouraged to research different scholarship and financing opportunities available to them.
