Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung scholarship for international students already studying in Germany

FES-Stipendium Grundförderung für Ausländer:innen

Paid by Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) · 🇩🇪 Germany

What this pays

The published value, how it is calculated, and whether it is cash or a credit ceiling.

Email and a six-digit code, then €50 a year. No password to forget.

The 4 published rules this programme tests you against — age, income, residency, household and the rest.

The steps, documents and official link are part of the paid plan. Checking how much you're owed stays free.

Exactly what to gather before you start, so nothing sends you back to the beginning.
