BayBIDS is supported by Bavaria University (registered society) and the Bavarian Ministry of Science, Research and Art. The project originated in 2008, with the initiative coming from the German Academic Exchange Service and the partner-school initiative of the Foreign Office. The project was set up to promote cooperation between German schools abroad and German partner-schools with Bavarian universities.

BayBIDS regularly awards scholarships to graduates of German schools abroad, who begin their studies in Bavaria. Visits to partner schools abroad are also financed. See the website for all details.

This financial support programme is for German or international students who are fully-integrated and have their long-term perspectives in Germany (e.g. European citizens or students with long term residential visas). Grants are based on personal assets, wages earned and parental or partner income.

More information can be found (in German) at www.bafoeg.de.

Schließen

The fund supports gifted and destitute students (e.g. BAföG recipients) upon application.

One-off grants (min. 100 €, max. 500 €) are paid out to purchase textbooks and other study materials.

Applicants must have completed at least two semesters at the Deggendorf Institute of Technology and, if possible, should not have completed the sixth semester. The allocation is not bound to denomination, faculty or nationality. An essential part of the application is a statement of costs. The written application must be accompanied by an (informal) endorsement of the responsible university professor regarding the expenses and previous academic achievements.

The scholarship is paid out (usually at the end of a semester) after the textbooks and learning materials have actually been purchased and this has been proven by submitting the original invoices or receipts together with the complete application documents via the Primuss portal.

If the funding guidelines are not adhered to, the grant may have to be repaid.

You can apply for the scholarship once during the course of your studies, there are no application deadlines.
