  • The scholarship is independent of assets and income, is not counted against BAföG (student financial aid), and does not need to be repaid.
  • Academic achievement is the primary criterion for selection. Family/personal background and community involvement are also taken into consideration.
  • There is no legal entitlement to receive funding.
