The sponsorship of the selected students starts January 1 with retroactive effect. The students receive 300€ per month over the period of one year (allowance period), supposing the scholarship holder is enrolled at the SRH Hochschule Berlin for the entire period. An extension of the term – subject to the consent of the sponsor – is possible within the prescribed period of study.

The scholarship is independent of income and therefore can be combined with BAfög. Multiple sponsorships through other sources of aid based on achievements are not permitted. This does not apply, if the amount the student receives per month falls below 30€.

There is no legal claim to the scholarship.
