I'm planning to apply to RWTH Aachen University and was wondering about the scholarship opportunities they offer for international students. Are there any specific requirements or criteria I should be aware of?
RWTH Aachen University in Germany indeed offers various scholarships for international students annually. However, these scholarships are often competitive and might require you to fulfil certain criteria.
One scholarship option for international students is the "RWTH Aachen University Scholarship" introduced for students who contribute to the university through extraordinary commitment. This scholarship provides financial and non-material support for high-achieving and committed students from all courses of study including international students.
It's important to note that most degree programs at the RWTH Aachen University, especially at the undergraduate level, are taught in German. Therefore, prospective international students would need proficiency in this language, usually through a certificate such as TestDaF or DSH, depending on the course and scholarship's requirements.
Since scholarships are often course and level-specific (i.e., undergraduate or graduate), you should directly refer to the RWTH Aachen University's official website or contact their international students services for the latest and most accurate information.
Lastly, you might want to look into the DAAD (Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst) scholarship database as well. DAAD is the largest funding organization for international students from Germany and provides a wide range of scholarship opportunities.
Remember that application deadlines and eligibility criteria may vary from one scholarship to another, so it's essential to do your research well in advance. Good luck with your scholarship search!
