From the beginning of their studies, many students have to take on a part-time job, or even student loans, to finance the years of study that lead up to professional employment. This often has a negative effect on student performance.

The Germany Scholarship, supported by the federal government, offers a bridge between talented, dedicated students and companies that need experts. The next generation of university graduates profit from financial support by being able to spend more time and energy on their studies, which enables them to invest in their professional future. On the other hand, companies can get to know their potential future experts at an early stage, and they can offer them assistance and support along the way.

The next application cycle for the Germany Scholarship at the University of Potsdam is in July 2017.
