Scholarships

In addition to the scholarships for all students, there are special scholarships aimed at international students. Applications can be submitted at the beginning of each semester, and the selection is made by HfMT's International Working Group (AKI). The offer varies from year to year, so we recommend an individual consultation at the International Office.
