What types of funding does a PROMOS scholarship cover?
A PROMOS scholarship consists of a combination of three possible funding components:
- Partial scholarship in installments (a montly rate to supplement living costs, amount depends on the destination country)
- One-off payment to supplement travel costs (amount depends on destination country)
- Course fee allowance (is only awarded for language and academic courses and amounts to a one-off €500 payment to subsidise course fees)
Costs incurred for visas, insurance and other expenditures resulting from the stay abroad are not subsidised.
Tuition fees are not subsidised. Exchange study places worldwide with tuition fee waivers are available in the direct exchange programme.
Full and partial funding
A PROMOS scholarship can consist of one or more of the components listed above. There is no entitlement to a specific component.

Individual Requirements
For scholarship holders with a degree of disability of 50 or above or a chronic illness, it is possible to apply for a grant to cover additional expenses incurred in the course of a PROMOS-funded stay abroad, if health insurance and other insurances do not cover the costs. Please contact the PROMOS team directly in good time, as we need at least two months' notice before applying for this funding from the DAAD.
