There is no minimum grade point average required to apply to the Deutschlandstipendium program. However, one of the main criteria is a strong academic record either in secondary school or at university. The Deutschlandstipendium program has a broader understanding of performance and also looks at other criteria (see here).

Whether or not you receive a scholarship thus depends on your grades, university credits you have already earned, and other selection criteria. Your chances of success also depend on the number of scholarships available in a given funding year, as well as on the number of applicants and their aptitude.

If your grades are good, but you feel uncertain about applying, we always recommend that you go ahead and apply anyway. The application process is much less involved than with other scholarship programs, and besides: you have nothing to lose.
