General information on scholarships

A solid financial base guarantees carefree studies. However, not everybody has such financial means at their disposal. Master and bachelor courses leave less time to job. Besides public grants and student loans scholarships offer a good alternative to finance your studies. Many falsely believe that scholarships will only be awarded to top grade students. Many scholarships also consider other criteria such as nationality, study progress, planned studies abroad, the reason why you apply for support or field of study.

More information on the scholarships can be obtained on the website following this link, from the scholarship commissioners of the University of Applied Sciences Trier and from the equality office.

With the beginning of the winter semester 2011 / 2012 the University of Applied Sciences Trier is also offering the Deutschlanstipendium. All relevant information concerning that scholarship can be found under the following link.

The student social services Trier can also provide more detailed information on various scholarships and help you to find the scholarship most suitable for you.
