Program Overview
Heidelberg University awards the Deutschlandstipendium to bachelor's and master's students of all nationalities. It pays 300 euros a month, does not depend on income, usually runs for two semesters at first and can be extended up to the standard length of study. For winter 2026/27 the university could award 175 scholarships, including renewals.
Applications open once a year in August, through the university's online portal. The last window was 1 to 31 August 2026, closing at 23:59. The next round is not announced, so the date shown on this page is an estimate based on that pattern. Applicants for a study place can apply, but they must be enrolled when the funding starts. Recommendation letters can be uploaded or sent by the writer before the deadline. This page was last checked against the Heidelberg University website on 7 October 2026.

Most universities allow you to apply with a "Hope Certificate" or provisional transcript if you are in your final semester, provided you graduate before the intake starts.
This varies by university. Many fully funded scholarships cover or waive application fees, but some may still require an initial processing fee. Refer to the official guidelines.
For PhD and some Master's programs, securing an acceptance letter from a professor is often mandatory. For undergraduate programs, it is usually not required.
