International students have the opportunity to apply for scholarships through various organizations. The largest group of scholarship providers is the ‘Begabtenförderungswerke’ supported by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. These institutions represent significant societal groups, each often associated with political, religious, or economic backgrounds. Additionally, there are numerous other scholarship providers in Germany, including smaller foundations that often focus on specific subjects or cities.
