Funding opportunities for international students

Scholarships are offered by the following advisory centres, among others:

Social Advisory Office of the Catholic University Community Mainz
The social advisor of the Catholic University Community, Ms Martina Pentz, advises students of all nationalities on questions regarding the course and financing their studies, as well as any difficulties with residence and work permits. Students who are temporarily experiencing financial difficulties through no fault of their own are able to apply for financial aid. Prior to taking final examinations, students may be awarded an examination grant upon application. In special cases, students can apply for a scholarship from KAAD for the Master's degree.
