How does the Deutschlandstipendium program work?

Source: BMBF 2016

LUH has been a part of the program since 2011 and was since able to give out over 1,000 scholarships in total. Students of all courses of study are eligible as long as their overall study time is still in the standard period of study for their studied subject. In the allocation process, social criteria also are part of the decision, next to academic accomplishments and performance.
