Students from European partner universities

Interested students in the scholarship may apply first for the European Project Semester, then read the instructions carefully below, download the application form, complete it, merge it with the requested documents below into ONE PDF and send it to  epsnoSpam@noSpamhtwsaarnoSpam.de:

1. Letter of recommendation from a lecturer or professor from the sending university
2. Motivation letter (1 page)  with the following  content:

Academic performance
Research experience, awards etc., if anyProfessional and academic goalsExplanation of financial needPersonal motivation and dedication to studiesHow you will benefit from the scholarship

1. CV (Resume)
2. Transcript of records
3. Proof of experience (studies/internships abroad, project work, conferences/seminars/courses, active membership in organisations, social activity, etc.)

Note: This application is not related to the online application for our International Office. So, you do need to write two letters of motivation, one for the EPS and one for the scholarship. For the application for the scholarship, a meaningful letter is sufficient (specifically, address funding here).

The deadline for the following summer semester is November 30.

The deadline for the following winter semester is May 31.

Please get in touch with the project coordinator ( epsnoSpam@noSpamhtwsaarnoSpam.de) for this information.

Three to four scholarships are awarded each year in the EPS.

A scholarship in the European Project Semester program excludes simultaneous funding from another scholarship program (e.g. ERASMUS+, DAAD scholarships, etc.). Therefore, if a scholarship is awarded, for example, in ERASMUS+, the student must decide on funding. In the case of ERASMUS+, an EPS scholarship recipient can, however, do the mobility as a so-called “zero-grant” student, i.e. with Erasmus+ status but without Erasmus+ scholarship.
