Motivational scholarships for first-year students
Program details
This program offers (future) graduates who completed their education at a school abroad offering the German Language Certificate (DSD) and have a secondary school diploma that is recognized for university qualification in Germany the opportunity to receive a scholarship during their first year of studies in a degree program at TU Dresden (in collaboration with the Deutschlandstipendium scholarship).
The scholarship is primarily geared towards first-year students (not to students already enrolled at TU Dresden) to encourage them to pursue their studies in Germany, and at TU Dresden specifically. Exchange students who will only study at TU Dresden for one or two semesters and will not receive their degree at TU Dresden are not eligible to receive this scholarship.
Funding
