Can beginning students and other applicants for study programs apply for a Deutschlandstipendium scholarship?
Yes, those who apply for a study program at Freie Universität Berlin (beginners and those who already studied at university level and apply for a new study program) can apply. For beginners, university admission grades will be considered in the selection process. In these cases, letters of recommendation are issued by school teachers. For those who already studied at university level, the grade of the first degree will be considered in the selection process and letters of recommendation are issued by university teachers.
If the certificate of enrollment have not been issued yet by the time of the scholarship application, they may be submitted later on. Enrollment at Freie Universität Berlin is required for scholarship payments.
