HNEE-Deutschlandstipendium

Support for commitment and performance

Since the winter semester 2011/12, Eberswalde University for Sustainable Development has supported particularly committed and high-achieving students through the HNEE Deutschlandstipendium.

This scholarship aims to give students the opportunity to realise their full potential and focus fully on their studies — regardless of their income or BAföG funding.

HNEE students can receive €300 per month for a minimum of two semesters, up to the standard duration of their degree programme. The Deutschlandstipendium is funded equally by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and private sponsors.

For more information, please visit the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) website on the Deutschlandstipendium.

Applicants & Scholarship Holders

The Deutschlandstipendium at HNE Eberswalde supports students with outstanding academic and school achievements. It is aimed at both current students and applicants who stand out due to their voluntary commitment or who face particular personal challenges — for example, caring for children or relatives, or being the first in their family to attend university.

The scholarship currently amounts to €300 per month and is funded equally by the federal government and private sponsors. It is initially awarded for one year, after which students may apply for an extension. Applications are open to both German and international students from all degree programmes, provided they are (or will be) enrolled as full-time students during the funding period and meet specific academic and engagement criteria. The Deutschlandstipendium is not based solely on academic performance — personal obstacles and social engagement also play an important role in the selection process.

Around 40 scholarships are currently awarded each year.
