Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin - Faculty of Humanities

Scholarship program

The scholarship program offers female students who are enrolled at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities I and are about to write their thesis (bachelor, master or magister) the opportunity to finish their work by financial support. The program focuses particularly on highly qualified students, whose graduation is not secure because of social or financial problems.

  • The scholarships are given to female Bachelor (of education) students, Master (of education) students and Magister students.
  • The number of scholarships is based on the available financial resources.
  • The support applies to the period in which the particular thesis is written.
  • This period is: 4 weeks (Bachelor), 8 weeks (Master), 12 weeks (Magister)
  • The grant amounts to 400 € per month.

 

Application:

  • Applications from the students theirselves are welcome, also proposals from Professors and Research Assistants.
  • The proof of above-average academic performance is required.
  • The thesis must have been approved already at the examination office before the application.
  • We expect a short, meaningful opinion of the supervisor of the thesis and a letter of motivation of the candidate with information on the social situation.
  • The proof of "soziale Härte" (especially financial need) is mandatory for award of scholarships.
  • An invitation to an interview is given if needed.
  • Applications can constantly be submitted in digital form (optionally also in printed form) to the Local Gender Equality Officers:
