You are obliged to notify us immediately if you are approaching the end of your studies.

 The scholarship concludes within the approved funding period at the end of the month in which the scholarship recipient:

1. successfully completes their university education. The phase of a student’s university education is considered successfully completed when the scholarship recipient has been notified of the final results of their studies (e.g., degree certificate).

1. drops out of their degree program
2. changes their field of study
3. is removed from the register of students (i.e., “exmatriculated”).

 In every case, funding ends when the approved funding period has ended.

You are required to submit the following information to us: Please let us know at least one month in advance whether any of the points stated above applies to you, for example, the date on which you will complete your final academic assessment (e.g., submission date for your final paper).

Please bear in mind that we may have to request that you pay back funding awarded for months during which you were not entitled to scholarship payments if you do not notify us in good time.
