What happens with the Deutschlandstipendium if I take a leave of absence from the university?
If you are on leave for personal or family reasons, such as a pregnancy, child raising responsibilities, or taking care of family members, your scholarship will be put on hold and not paid out. When you resume your studies, your scholarship will be extended for the length of time you were on leave. If you are on leave for a semester abroad or an internship that is required by your program, you will continue to receive the scholarship. No extensions are granted in this case.
