I'm researching options for studying in Germany after high school and am curious about which universities offer scholarships for international students. Does anyone have recommendations on where I should look for this information?
Germany is indeed a popular choice for international students due to the high quality of education and relatively low cost of living. However, it's important to know that most courses at German public universities are free of charge, regardless of the student's nationality.
That said, while tuition is often free, living expenses can be a significant cost. For scholarships to help with these costs, there's the DAAD (Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst) which is one of the largest providers of scholarships for international students in Germany, for both undergraduate and postgraduate studies.
Next, you can consider the Deutschlandstipendium which supports highly talented students at all participating universities in Germany. It's awarded irrespective of personal or parent income.
Individual universities might also offer scholarships—the Technical University of Munich (TUM), for instance, offers the TUM Asia Assistance Grant, a need-based scholarship for international students.
In conclusion, while tuition costs in Germany are typically low, there are resources to help handle other expenses. Good luck with your search!
