Independent commissions decide on admission to the Studienstiftung. Political convictions, ideology, religion, gender, economic and social aspects play no role in the selection process.
Please note that not all linked pages are available in English. Where possible, we used the English pages, otherwise we referred to the German pages.
Formal requirements for admission to the Studienstiftung: https://www.studienstiftung.de/infos-fuer-studierende-und-vorschlagende/voraussetzungen
Selection criteria: https://www.studienstiftung.de/infos-fuer-studierende-und-vorschlagende/wen-wir-foerdern
There are three different entry routes for admission to the Studienstiftung:
1. self-application
Students in the 1st or 2nd semester of an undergraduate degree programme can apply independently for a Studienstiftung scholarship without being nominated.
Further information can be found here: https://www.studienstiftung.de/infos-fuer-studierende-und-vorschlagende/bewerbung-und-auswahl/selbstbewerbung-um-ein-stipendium-der-studienstiftung
2. nomination by the examination office
Students in the 3rd or 4th semester of an undergraduate degree programme who belong to the top group (top 2%) of a degree programme are nominated for admission to the Studienstiftung by the university's examination office or (in the case of state examination degree programmes) by the state examination offices for medicine, dentistry and pharmacy. The number of persons who may be proposed for admission to the Studienstiftung by the examination offices depends on the size of the respective degree programme. The proposal is submitted directly to the Studienstiftung by the examination offices. Proposed students will be contacted by the Studienstiftung.
You can find information on the proposal by the examination office here: https://www.studienstiftung.de/pruefungsaemter
If you have any questions, please contact your examination office directly: https://www.uni-wuerzburg.de/en/studying-at-jmu/examination-office/examination-offices-by-faculty/
3. nomination by a university lecturer
All professors at the University of Würzburg are eligible to nominate candidates, provided they are a habilitated academic member of the faculty or have an equivalent status (e.g. junior professor, senior lecturer, private lecturer).
Students on undergraduate degree programmes who have completed their second semester can be nominated. In the state examination degree programmes in medicine, dentistry and pharmacy, a nomination is only possible after successful completion of the first section of the state examination.
The Studienstiftung accepts proposals from university lecturers all year round.
All information on nominations by university lecturers can be found on the following Studienstiftung website: https://www.studienstiftung.de/infos-fuer-studierende-und-vorschlagende/hochschullehrende
Information on doctoral funding and the funding programmes can be found under the following link: https://www.studienstiftung.de/en/doctoral-scholarships
Doctoral students from all subject areas can apply for doctoral funding with the support of their supervisor. Applications can be submitted at any time and are not subject to any specific deadlines.

Information on selection criteria and the forms for applying for doctoral funding can be found here: https://www.studienstiftung.de/infos-fuer-promovierende/promotionsfoerderung-der-studienstiftung/auf-einen-blick-zentraler-downloadbereich
You can contact the student ambassadors Carolin Kurth and Patrick Schurk at the following email address if you have any questions about the Studienstiftung: botschafter.wuerzburg@outlook.de
The Studienstiftung ambassadors encourage pupils to take up a course of study and provide information about student funding, scholarships and application opportunities at the Studienstiftung during school visits and at school and university fairs.
They want to lower the inhibition threshold for applying to the Studienstiftung and, in particular, address first-time university graduates and students with a migration background. The aim is to motivate interested pupils and students to apply to the Studienstiftung themselves and to encourage candidates who have already been put forward for the Studienstiftung to actually submit their application.
You can contact the spokespersons Paulina Jurklies, Jakob Manger and Johannes Walter at the following e-mail address: stipendiatensprecher-wuerzburg@daidalosnet.de
Once a year, the scholarship holders of the university group elect 3 scholarship holder spokespersons as representatives (in Würzburg). The spokespersons organise and coordinate the activities/events at the university location in order to promote networking among the scholarship holders. They also act as contact persons for scholarship holders, liaison lecturers and the office. They are also available to answer questions from all interested students.
