About this scholarship

The Technical University of Munich (TUM) offers several scholarships to support international students financially during their studies in Germany.

• TUM Deutschlandstipendium (Germany Scholarship): Merit-based, €300/month, co-funded by government and private sponsors.
• TUM Scholarship for International Students: Need-based, €500–€1,500/month, awarded by the TUM International Center.
• TUM Talent Scholarships & Foundations: Support for highly talented students in research and entrepreneurship.
• External Funding: DAAD, Erasmus+, and private German foundations also support TUM students.
