Special scholarships for students with a refugee background

For many scholarships, similar requirements apply as for BAföG funding. For example, if a bachelor's degree that is recognized in Germany has already been obtained abroad, a second bachelor's degree is generally not financed. The age limits and funding amounts (currently max. 934€/month) are also generally based on the criteria for BAföG funding (for details, see the information sheet "BAföG for Refugees"). Despite this general orientation, numerous scholarship providers deviate from these criteria, so an application can be worthwhile even if you do not meet all the criteria. Please note that this overview only lists scholarships with an explicit focus on students with a refugee background. There are other scholarships (e.g. for international students) for which you may also apply and for which some of the requirements are eased or changed for refugees. You can find these in the brochure "Scholarships for International Students" at: https://www.uni-frankfurt.de/132445420.pdf. In addition, the overview does not include scholarships for doctoral students.
