GLU SCHOLARSHIPS ​

A limited number of scholarships are awarded to students. These scholarships include travel costs and a monthly grant to cover living expenses.

Applications for a scholarship can be indicated in the application form. A support letter from a trade union organisation is an application requirement.

Please also note that the scholarship is a matching grant. It will only be awarded if a trade union or another institution is co-sponsoring the program with 1,500 EUR.

The potential co-sponsor has to be indicated on the application form and his/her contribution has to be paid before the start of the program at the University of Kassel.
