Foundations & scholarships in Germany
There are around 2,600 foundations in Germany. Large and small organizations offer individual support programs ranging from non-material mentoring to the full assumption of living expenses. Above-average academic performance is not always expected, but high personal motivation and social commitment almost always are. There is currently no complete overview of all possible scholarships.
Here are the most important databases (no guarantee):
www.stipendienlotse.de (Scholarship database of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research)
www.stipendienindex.de (publisher: Federal Association of German Foundations)
www.stipendiumplus.de (joint portal of the 13 organizations for the promotion of gifted students)
www.deutschlandstipendium.de (General website of the Deutschlandstipendium)
www.aufstiegsstipendium.de (For students with vocational training)
www.elternkompass.info (Independent and free scholarship advice service)
www.test.de (Stiftung Warentest)
