About the scholarship
The STIBET Scholarship at Anhalt University of Applied Sciences (Hochschule Anhalt) is a short-term grant funded by the DAAD and the Federal Foreign Office, designed to help international students in the final stage of their studies. It pays €400 a month for three months — €1,200 in total — so that a student can focus on finishing a thesis, or to recognise outstanding voluntary work in the university community.
The important thing to understand is what this grant is not. It is not a degree scholarship and it is not open to new applicants: only international students already enrolled full-time at Anhalt can apply, in one of two categories. The Graduation Scholarship supports students close to finishing, who will submit their thesis within a semester. The Scholarship for Particularly Committed Students rewards students who have actively volunteered in international or social activities while keeping good grades. If you are already at Anhalt and in your final stage, €1,200 of breathing room is real money — but do not plan a degree around it.

Benefits
