Deutschlandstipendium

The University of Erfurt participated in the Deutschlandstipendium Program of the Federal Government.
We award these scholarships annually to particularly talented, high-performing and socially committed students.
The income-independent scholarship is 300 euros per month.
Half of it is financed by sponsors and the other half by the Federal Government.
