Apply for the EMINENT Scholarship 2026: Funding Details, Conditions, and Alternatives

Apply for the EMINENT scholarship and receive €1,400 per month for up to two years. Learn exactly what the scholarship covers, the academic conditions, and funding options if not awarded.


Apply for the EMINENT programme to be automatically considered for the EMINENT scholarship, a merit-based funding opportunity designed to support students with living and travel expenses during their studies.

There is no separate scholarship application. Every applicant to the EMINENT programme is reviewed for scholarship eligibility as part of the standard admissions process.

What the EMINENT Scholarship Covers

The EMINENT scholarship is awarded for a maximum duration of two years, which corresponds to the full length of the programme.

Successful scholarship recipients receive:

  • A monthly stipend of €1,400
  • Financial support intended to cover:
    • Accommodation
    • Food and daily living costs
    • Local transportation
    • Health insurance
    • Study-related expenses
    • Travel costs

The stipend is paid monthly and is designed to allow students to study full-time without needing external employment.

Academic Conditions to Keep the Scholarship

The EMINENT scholarship is conditional on academic performance.

To retain the scholarship:

  • Students must pass all modules in the first and second semesters
  • Students must maintain an average grade of at least 2.7 using the German grading system

Failure to meet these requirements may result in the scholarship being discontinued.

If You Are Admitted Without a Scholarship

Admission to the EMINENT programme is independent of scholarship allocation.

Students who are admitted but do not receive the EMINENT scholarship may still:

  • Enrol in the programme at their own expense
  • Apply for additional funding during their studies

Alternative Funding Options

Students without the EMINENT scholarship can pursue other funding sources:

Erasmus+ Funding

  • Available primarily in the second year (third and fourth semesters)
  • May cover part of living and mobility expenses
  • Subject to availability and eligibility

External Scholarships (DAAD and others)

  • Competitive funding that may cover living, travel, and insurance costs
  • Requires separate applications with independent deadlines

Applicants are strongly encouraged to research and apply for alternative funding early.

Key Summary

  • Apply once to the EMINENT programme and be automatically considered for the scholarship
  • Receive €1,400 per month for up to two years if selected
  • Maintain a minimum average grade of 2.7 after the first year
  • Access Erasmus+ or DAAD funding if the EMINENT scholarship is not awarded

Applying early and understanding these conditions helps students plan their studies in Europe with clarity and confidence.
