The scholarship recipient will be selected by an internal university awards committee. The decision on the application will be communicated in writing.

The award of a scholarship involves a decision on 

• the grant period, 
• the amount of the scholarship, as well as 
• a reference to the maximum duration of funding based on the standard period of study, and 
• the options for renewal and the information requirements.

If you are selected for the scholarship, you will be sent a letter of acceptance. This will set out the conditions under which the financial support is granted and the obligations you must fulfil.

This scholarship is advertised once a year. Please note that only complete applications will be submitted to the selection committee for consideration. You should therefore check carefully that you have submitted all the required documents.

• The call for applications will be announced via a group email, a poster in the foyer outside the Mensa, or via an intranet news item.
• Applications must be submitted electronically via the application portal by the deadline. 

The application portal will be activated during the application period and linked to on this page. Outside the application period, the portal will be offline.

The scholarship holder must inform Bingen University of Applied Sciences immediately by email to the contact person regarding 

• Interruptions, suspension or termination of studies, 
• Funding from third parties and 
• Secondary employment.

Funding ends at the latest upon expiry of the scholarship period, or otherwise at the end of the month in which the final examination is taken. 

It also ceases as soon as the scholarship holder takes up paid employment which, by its nature and scope, does not contribute to the achievement of their academic objectives.

The university’s own awards committee may also reclaim grants retrospectively if disclosure requirements have not been met or if there are facts which, had they been known, might have led to a different award decision. The scholarship holder must be given the opportunity to be heard.

Any overpayments must be refunded.
