Lower Saxony State Scholarship ("Landesstipendium Niedersachsen") 2026
We are pleased that the Ministry of Science and Culture will be granting the Lower Saxony State Scholarship ("Landesstipendium Niedersachsen") once again in 2026. University Advancement will award 100 scholarships. These will be for a one-time payment of 500 euros.
Funds in particular improved the scholarships available to talented students from so-called educationally deprived social strata. In particular for first generation students and students who face particularly difficult conditions for starting and continuing a degree program due to their refugee background. In addition, social grounds and outstanding volunteer engagement both inside and outside of the university were taken into account.
