The Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences can offer limited degree completion assistance as part of the STIBET programme for international students. This funding comes from the Federal Foreign Office via the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). The degree completion grants are intended to help international students with good academic performances, who find themselves struggling financially, to finish their studies.

Scope of award: Degree completion grants of 650 € per month for a period of up to 3 months

The application deadline is based on the date of registration for the final thesis. The degree completion assistance will be announced twice a year (generally in February and July).

The Deutschlandstipendium is funded in half by the German Federal Government and in half by private corporations. It is primarily intended for students with good grades and a good command of the German language. Application period: May/June
