Scholarships and Awards
A large number of scholarship programs support students or doctoral candidates during their studies or final theses. The foundations apply different criteria - it is not always just a matter of top grades and support for the most talented. In addition to performance, the commitment and circumstances of students are also taken into account.
You can find an overview of the different scholarship programs as well as information about counseling and application on the page of the The scholarship advisory team of TU Dortmund University.
