NRWege ins Studium Scholarship

Supports students at risk

In the years 2023 – 2027, the Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences will be able to award scholarships to refugees in the NRWege im Studium programme. The program is funded by the Ministry of Culture and Science of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia (MKW). The scholarships are awarded to particularly talented students with a refugee background who are characterized by a high motivation and probability of academic success. The prerequisite for all scholarships is enrollment in a degree program at the Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences and the existence of a refugee background. The amount of the scholarships depends on the type of scholarship and the funding period and is a maximum of €934 per month. Partial scholarships can be awarded. A partial scholarship is a maximum of 300 €. Persons applying for a full-time scholarship must prove that they have applied for BAföG and that the application has been rejected or not yet approved. BAföG recipients can receive a scholarship of €300.

Detailed Information

Admission
The candidates are evaluated by a selection committee on the basis of their performance, the level of German language skills, the quality of the letter of motivation (in the case of study and graduation scholarships, the report) and financial need, selected and then notified in writing. There is no entitlement to funding. Other scholarships will be credited towards the scholarship. The total amount may not exceed 861 €, i.e. the scholarship rate is reduced as a result.

Only complete documents submitted by the deadline will be considered.
