Full scholarships are competitive awards based on academic excellence, personal suitability, motivation and financial need. They cover 100% of the tuition fees. They are targeted towards applicants with specific profiles or interests. These scholarships do not cover living expenses.
How to apply
- Create an account through our application portal and select the programme you wish to apply for.
Submit your application for admission by one of the following deadlines: Early Bird (1 December), or Priority Deadlines (non-EU/EEA 15 January; EU/EEA 15 February). We recommend you apply as early as possible.
- Upon receiving an admission offer, you will be invited to access the Funding Application. You will have two weeks to apply for full and partial scholarships.
Requirements for full scholarships may vary. In most cases, a supplemental essay is required. Please note that applicants who do not submit all the necessary documents and materials will not be considered for full scholarships. Detailed information is available on each scholarship’s individual page.
You can apply for both full and partial scholarships at the same time.
You must be admitted to a programme before applying for any scholarships. Please note that you can only apply for one full scholarship per year.
How do we allocate full scholarships?
After carefully reviewing each candidate's application and supplemental scholarship materials, the Admissions Team will invite shortlisted applicants to an interview with a faculty member specialising in a field relevant to the scholarship. During the interview, candidates will discuss their essays and share their personal motivation for studying at the Hertie School.
