HessenFonds Scholarships for Refugees and Persecuted Persons

The Hessische Ministerium für Wissenschaft und Forschung, Kunst und Kultur (Hessian Ministry of Science and Research, Art and Culture, HMWK) provides scholarships at Hessian state universities as part of the "HessenFonds für Geflüchtete und Verfolgte - hochqualifizierte Studierende, Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler" ("HessenFonds for refugees and persecuted persons - highly qualified students and academics").

The funding is for the continuation of studies or an academic career at a state university in Hessen. Funding is generally provided for one year.

A maximum of 10 people per university, including a maximum of 4 doctoral candidates and/or researchers, can be nominated.

If you are a refugee in Germany and are interested in studying at Kassel University, in addition to enrolling into one of our programs as a regular student, you might be eligible for the status of exchange student (if you are currently enrolled at a university in your home country) or guest auditor (this is an opportunity to join selected courses upon the instructor's agreement).
