Cost and Funding

Costs

The arising costs for the entire study differ depending on the respective second year SPRING partner university. A detailed compilation of costs and expenses can be downloaded here.

DAAD EPOS Scholarship

The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) offers a limited number of scholarships to highly qualified applicants. The current call for applications and necessary application documents for the scholarship for an EPOS study program can be found on the DAAD's website.

The selection of qualified candidates is jointly taken by SPRING and DAAD.

Funding

Because admission to the SPRING Programme does not automatically include an award of a scholarship, we advise applicants to seek for financial support from their own countries or from international donors.

For international applicants: Please find a list of potential donor organisations here
For German applicants: Please find a list of potential donor organisations here
