Information on the application procedures

All students who are enrolled at the Ludwigshafen University of Applied Sciences, are within the standard period of study and are expected to be enrolled in this degree program at the Ludwigshafen University of Applied Sciences for at least two more semesters are eligible to apply. German and foreign students are eligible to apply. Students who intend to study in the respective winter semester can also apply. Applicants for university places can submit their letter of admission or confirmation of enrollment at a later date.

Funding is not available to students who already receive talent- or performance-based material support from public or publicly supported institutions in Germany or abroad in the amount of more than 30 euros per month.

Extracurricular or extracurricular involvement such as:

• a voluntary activity
• social, university political or political commitment

Special personal or family circumstances such as:

• illnesses and disabilities
• taking care of own children (especially as a single parent) or close relatives in need of care

The scholarship holders are supported with 300 € per month.

Sponsored students should have their backs free for as long as possible and be able to concentrate on their education. As a rule, the sponsorship lasts at least two semesters and covers a maximum of the standard period of study. After one year in each case, the university checks whether the scholarship holder still meets the eligibility criteria. Therefore, it is necessary that you upload all application documents once again updated in the application portal.

If the duration of your studies is extended for serious reasons, such as a disability, pregnancy, the care and upbringing of a child or a subject-related stay abroad, the maximum funding period can be extended upon application.

You can apply for an extension of the maximum funding period when you apply for a Deutschlandstipendium via the online application system. You submit the request in the "Comments on application" field and give reasons for it there. You should include written proof of your reason for extension as an attachment to your application. Only complete extension requests with reasons and supporting documentation will be considered.

During the time of a leave of absence from studies, the scholarship will not be paid. If studies are resumed following the leave of absence, the scholarship award period will be adjusted upon notification by the scholarship recipient. The time of the leave of absence will not be counted towards the grant period.

The application period is annually from April to the beginning of June. The exact times will be announced in good time. Applications must be submitted exclusively during the application period and online in the application portal. The application agreement stored there must be signed and attached to the application online. Only then is your application complete and can be considered.

From the applications submitted in due form and time, the scholarship selection committee selects the applications that can be included in the sponsorship in accordance with the selection criteria set out in the "Statutes of Worms University for the Award of German Scholarships". The selection committee also selects further applications according to the same criteria, which move up in a sequence determined by it, if applications included in the selection are subsequently withdrawn or cannot be approved for other reasons.

The following are members of the scholarship selection committee by virtue of their office

1. the president or a person appointed by the president as chairperson,
2. the central equal opportunity representative with an advisory vote.
3. The following members of the scholarship selection committee are appointed by the

proposal of the President by the Senate for a term of two years, in the case of No. 2 for a term of one year:

1. three university professors (1 member per department)
2. one academic or non-academic student
3. one academic or non-academic staff member.

If a member leaves prematurely, a new member is elected for the remainder of the term of office. Representatives of private funding sources may attend meetings of the Scholarship Selection Committee in an advisory capacity. The quorum of the scholarship selection committee is determined by § 38 HochSchG.

The Deutschlandstipendium is granted regardless of income.

The Deutschlandstipendium has no effect on BaföG support.

Double sponsorship is excluded, i.e. a scholarship according to the Scholarship Program Act (StipG) will not be awarded if the student receives another scholarship based on talent and performance.

The granting of the scholarship is to be revoked with at least six weeks' notice to the end of a calendar month if the scholarship holder has not complied with the obligation under Section 10 (2) and (3) of the Scholarship Program Act or receives further funding contrary to Section 4 (1) of the Scholarship Program Act or if the university determines during the examination that the aptitude or talent and performance requirements for the scholarship no longer continue to exist. Retroactive revocation of the award is possible in particular in the case of double funding, as well as in cases in which the award is based on false information provided by the scholarship holder.

Applicants must fulfill the duties to cooperate necessary for the selection process, in particular to provide the information and evidence required for the examination of the aptitude and performance requirements.

Scholarship holders must immediately report any changes in their circumstances that are relevant to the granting of the scholarship.

The scholarship holders must provide the university with the data required to fulfill its duty to provide information in accordance with Section 13 (1) No. 1, (4) of the Scholarship Program Act.
