Good luck!
The Deutschlandstipendium encouraged and boosted my confidence. I want to say thank you to the sponsors and organizers of the Deutschlandstipendium as a foreign student from Nigeria who escaped the Ukrainian war to Germany. The support has gone a long way in paying for my accomodation. It comes at the right time.

The Deutschlandstipendium allows me to focus on learning and working extremely hard in the pursuit of my academic goals. It highly motivates me and has developed my confidence and strengthened my resolve to aim for excellence. I am grateful for getting this opportunity.

I am very happy to be a scholarship holder, it really helps me a lot. I can focus more on my studies and I am grateful for that. The LLM program is really good. All the courses are taught starting from the most basic level. I am happy to be here in Saarbrücken and I hope I can start working after I finish my studies and contribute to the scholarship.

Having a scholarship can be considered as a valuable asset in one's resume as it showcases a student's academic achievements and dedication towards their studies. It also helps to alleviate the financial burden and ease the student's overall experience during their studies.
Matin Mammadli
Deutschlandstipendium is more than the financial support. It helps me on a daily basis, drop by drop: buying the books I like or doing small trips in my free time, everything contributes to a sense of ease and ability to focus. The LLM program is extremely intensive and it provides a lot of learning opportunities for people across the globe including me.
Nataliia Vodko
The scholarship helps me devote my time to my studies. In addition to this, I am able to take German language courses which makes me more equipped and competitive while living in Germany. Also, I am able to meet new people and build my network through the Deutschlandstipendium.
Anjela Lu Antonie Ching
The Deutschlandstipendium provides me financial assistance and eases the burden of living expenses, especially as a student coming from outside the Eurozone. Thanks to the scholarship, I can access conferences and workshops, therefore I can find an extension of my network. Studying at the Europa-Institut is much more prestigious than I expected. All of the lecturers are the best and most well-known in their field. The Institute offers a diverse and international student community, fostering a rich cultural and academic experience.
Hazal Ezgi Cikit
I think that receiving the Deutschlandstipendium allows me to worry less about the unnecessary ups and downs of student life and just concentrate on what is important: the courses I am taking and what I want to do afterwards. The scholarship will also help me finance my trip with the Europa-Institut to New York for the Eurosim (European legislative process simulation) as I had the pleasure of being selected.
William Wulff
The Deutschlandstipendium not only provides financial support, it also plays a major role in networking. I think it is very important for all scholarship holders to meet each other and make new friends. Also, thanks to the Deutschlandstipendium, we get very important information about our career and also about our personal development. Thanks to the financial support of the Deutschlandstipendium, I can do more research, leaving enough time to study my field more deeply. Europa-Institut's education is really at a high level. Although we have a very hectic schedule, the professionalism of the lecturers helps us to understand better.
