Leibniz University Hannover Awards Lower Saxony Scholarships

Applications may be submitted from 12 October 2020

Students are welcome to apply for a Lower Saxony Scholarship ("Niedersachsenstipendium") - scholarship holders receive a one-off payment of 500 euros. Eligible candidates include students enrolled at Leibniz University Hannover (LUH) that have not taken leave of absence and have not exceeded the prescribed standard period of study. Applications may be submitted between 12 and 23 October 2020.

The scholarship aims to support students who have produced outstanding results, as well as particularly talented students from educationally underprivileged backgrounds or students who, due to fleeing, have particularly difficult starting conditions and general conditions for studying. In addition, other social aspects and voluntary work may be taken into account in the selection procedure.

Supporting evidence must be provided in the form of an official, up-to-date transcript of marks ("Notenspiegel") issued by the Examination Office. First-semester students are required to submit their university entrance qualification. Further information on the application process can be found on this website: www.uni-hannover.de/Niedersachsenstipendium

Students are eligible to apply for both a Lower Saxony Scholarship and a "Deutschlandstipendium" (BMBF funding programme). However, applicants will only be considered for one scholarship.
