Deutsche Universitätsstiftung: Welcome Programme

Programme Description

In 2015 the German University Foundation DUS launched the Welcome scholarship programme for students at German higher education institutions who are refugees. An essential component of the programme is that on-site teaching staff mentor students in a one-on-one approach in the candidates’ respective subject areas. The DUS acts as a mediator between the teaching staff and the students. In addition, the scholarship offers workshops (on time- and learning management skills, application training), coachings, networking opportunities, potential analyses, specialist meetings and symposia and a budget for study-related costs and tech equipment to promote the students’ academic success and facilitate their access to the German labour market.

Academic Requirements

  • Applicants are enrolled in a Bachelor’s programme at a German institution of higher education, college of art or music (humanities, economic sciences or STEM disciplines), and have not yet completed their 2nd semester. Or
  • Applicants are enrolled in a degree programme concluding with a state examination at a German institution of higher education, college of art or music (medicine, pharmacology, law), and have not yet completed their 2nd semester.
  • Students enrolled in dual or private higher education institutions are not eligible to apply.
