The SBW Berlin scholarship programme is dedicated to supporting social commitment through the implementation of social projects by scholarship recipients during their studies. The programme offers various types of scholarships, each granted for a limited period, typically for the upcoming semester.
Scholarship recipients are encouraged to engage in social projects from the beginning of their studies. For foreign students, projects should ideally align with non-profit organizations in their home countries or contribute to enhancing living conditions there. Similarly, for refugees, projects should focus on assisting other refugees or be integrated into SBW Berlin’s initiatives. Those pursuing courses in the social field can undertake projects with other organizations or develop their projects at SBW Berlin, all aimed at enhancing living conditions globally.
The DAAD Scholarship Program, sponsored by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), offers partially funded opportunities for postgraduate studies in Germany. Benefits include furnished accommodation in shared student apartments, tuition coverage or monthly support, depending on the scholarship type. Requirements for applicants include being aged between 18 and 30, holding higher education entry qualifications, maintaining a good academic record, demonstrating low household income, providing letters of recommendation and motivational statements, and committing to working in their home country or engaging in non-profit work post-study. The selection process emphasizes social involvement, transparent communication, collaboration with social institutions, academic performance, and active participation in social projects. Application deadlines are unspecified, and interested individuals can find further details in the scholarship guidelines.
