Scholarship System

Begabtenförderungswerke offer financial support, individual funding and an extensive network for outstanding students and young academics. The scholarship programmes of the Begabtenförderungswerke give doctoral candidates the opportunity to concentrate fully on their research projects without having to worry about finances.

The funding not only includes financial support, but also a wide range of opportunities for personal and professional development, such as seminars, workshops and international exchange programmes. Wismar University of Applied Sciences encourages its talented young researchers to apply for these funding opportunities in order to optimally advance their research work and successfully shape their academic career.

StipendiumPlus provides a good overview of the selection and the respective contact persons.

The Studienstiftung is the largest of thirteen organisations for the promotion of gifted students in the Federal Republic of Germany supported by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF):
