As nor the Centre for Renewable Energy (ZEE), nor the Faculty of Environment and Natural Resources is currently able to offer scholarships for REM students, candidates should apply for funding from foundations and/or inform themselves about job opportunities on- or off-campus.

 

DAAD -scholarship (German Academic Exchange Service)

Most foreign students receive a scholarship from the DAAD. The application for a scholarship must be submitted to a DAAD office or the German embassy in the applicant’s home country. Generally, the whole application process – as it is the case for most of the foundations - may last up to one year. Therefore, it is important that you plan ahead.
