Scholarships
A scholarship is the most convenient way to finance your studies in whole or in part. In most cases, scholarships are awarded by religious or political organizations or foundations, as well as by companies. Unfortunately, it is not that easy to get a scholarship.
Most scholarships are aimed at students with very good academic achievements and/or a high level of social or political commitment. This is not the only reason why it makes sense to get socially involved.
Most scholarship applications include a motivation letter, curriculum vitae/resume, recommendation letter or report issued by a tutor, supervisor or professor, as well as certificates providing evidence of language proficiency, academic achievements or social commitment. Remember that motivation letter and recommendation letter are important for your application and allow you to present yourself, your commitment to and interest in your study program.
