#Selection Process

During the screening process, the full personality of an applicant is considered. Everything is taken into account, from academic brilliance to personal achievements. Selections for the DeutschlandStipendium are based on the following parameters, according to the majority of prominent German institutions:

• Academic and professional achievements
• Participation in extracurricular activities
• If you have any unique accomplishments, mention those.
• If there is any volunteer work, it should be mentioned.

The institutions themselves are in charge of selecting the successful candidates and pursuing possible sponsors with financial help from the federal government.

Germany recognises and values the contribution of young professionals to the country's development, thus the government seeks to encourage education through scholarships and awards. Last year, more than 7,500 sponsors joined the government in raising roughly 29 million euros. Students who receive the Germany scholarship are permitted to have additional sources of income, such as the BAfoG.
