Fully-funded scholarships in Germany for future students?

I'm currently a high school junior interested in studying in Germany. I've heard about fully-funded scholarships available for international students. Can anyone share details on how to apply or which fields of study they're available for?

Sure, Germany is indeed known for offering a good number of scholarships aimed at international students who wish to study there. Two prominent ones are DAAD Scholarships and Heinrich Böll Scholarships.

The DAAD (Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst) or German Academic Exchange Service is a joint organization of Germany's universities. They provide scholarships for international students for a range of postgraduate courses at German universities. These scholarships not only cover tuition but in many cases also provide a monthly stipend for living expenses. The application process and deadlines vary depending on the specific scholarship and the course you're applying to, so you'll want to visit the DAAD website to get the most accurate information (www.daad.de).

The Heinrich Böll Scholarships are another funding option. They are awarded to undergraduates, graduates, and doctoral students of all subjects and nationalities, with a preference towards those studying the humanities, social sciences, and the arts. Again, the scholarships help cover tuition costs and provide a monthly stipend. You can learn more about these scholarships and how to apply on the Böll Foundation's website (www.boell.de).

Few scholarships limit their funding to certain fields of study, but they do generally prefer applicants who can demonstrate academic excellence, a clear understanding of their proposed field of study, and a commitment to contributing positively to the global community.

Remember to prepare a strong application and personal statement, and make sure you meet all the eligibility requirements. The selection process can be quite competitive. Good luck with your search!
