Hochschulwerk Scholarship for International Students
The Sozialausschuss (Social Committee of the Student Union) is proud to announce its new scholarship for international students from lower income countries. The students of Witten/Herdecke University finance the scholarship through their contributions to the Hochschulwerk, and the funds are administered by the Sozialausschuss.
This funding forms a generous program of non-repayable support to help ensure that a Witten degree is accessible to all academically talented international students regardless of family income. As tuition fees can be paid after the completion of the studies in dependence on the personal income (inverse contract between student generations), this award is intended to help with living expenses only.
The scholarship comprises a monthly grant of €700,- for a maximum tenure of 24 months. It is not intended for PhD students since they have regular income. Also you cannot study correspondence courses at the UWH. Eligible are international students who meet the following criteria:
Nationality of a lower income country (annual GDP/capita less than 10.000,00 $)
Successful application for a degree program at Witten/Herdecke University. You have to have a confirmation letter from the University Witten/Herdecke, affirming that you will definitely study at the university.
Personal need of funding (to be confirmed by the Social Committee)
The application deadline for the academic year 2015/2016 is 30 September 2015.
The Sozialausschuss does not give out any information on how to apply to the University Witten/Herdecke or to what programs are offered. You may apply to this scholarship by sending the following documents to stipendium.sozialausschuss@uni-wh.de
