What scholarships are available?
Scholarships are another way to cover the costs of studying. The major advantage of a scholarship is that it usually does not have to be repaid.
A scholarship is generally awarded on the basis of outstanding academic performance, special talents, personal qualities or financial need - so it is not always a question of being a "high-flyer".
There are numerous ways to apply for a scholarship. So you need a little time and diligence to find suitable opportunities for you. But the search is worth it.
In the following, we have put together an overview of possible scholarships to help you find your way around. You can find further information on the individual offers at www.fh-westkueste.de/studierende/finanzierung/stipendien/
