    Scholarships

    Financing Your Studies

    We have compiled an overview of funding opportunities for you below. Scholarships are only available for students in specialized studies. We are not aware of any scholarships for students in the Studienkolleg. The universities in the state of Baden-Württemberg themselves do not award any scholarships.

    Funding under the Federal Training Assistance Act (BAföG)
    According to the Federal Training Assistance Act (BAföG), foreigners can only be supported in the following cases:

    • Children of EU nationals, provided they have a residence permit in an EU country.
    • A foreigner entitled to asylum, if one parent is German (under certain conditions)
    • A foreigner who has resided in Germany for a total of five years prior to the start of their studies and has been gainfully employed during this time OR if one parent has resided in Germany for three of the last six years and has been gainfully employed during this time.

    You can find out whether you meet the requirements for support under BAföG from the responsible BAföG office. In Konstanz, this is the Studierendenwerk Seezeit:
