Programme Description

The SBW Berlin scholarship programme supports social commitment through the development of social projects during the scholarship recipients’ studies and includes various types of scholarships. The scholarships are only granted for a limited period, usually for the upcoming semester.*

Social Project
Scholarship recipients get involved socially with the start of their studies.
  • For the SBW Berlin scholarship for foreign students: Ideally, these projects are part of the non-profit work of organisations located in the home countries of the foreign scholarship recipients and/or contribute to improving living conditions there.
  • For the SBW Berlin scholarship for refugees: Ideally, these projects are part of the non-profit work of organisations that help other refugees from their home countries. The social project can also be part of SBW Berlin’s work.
  • For the SBW Berlin scholarship for courses in the social field: The projects can either be part of the non-profit work of other organisations or are located at SBW Berlin as their own project. In general, however, they are intended to contribute to improving living conditions around the world.
* Further information can be found in the relevant guidelines of the scholarships and on the SBW Berlin website.

Termination of the scholarship and repayment obligation

  • Two failed compulsory exams or two postponed examinations
  • Failure to meet the target agreements set for the social/non-profit project
  • Not using any provided funds as intended
  • Remaining in Germany (refers to scholarship for foreign students)
