• Monthly scholarship payment of 992 euros
• Medical, accident and personal liability insurance

The DAAD and TEV each cover half of the costs. The TEV's share must be paid back to the foundation.

To prepare for the stay in Germany, the DAAD pays for a language course before the start of the study visit (minimum duration 2 months); the DAAD decides whether and for how long it will fund a language course depending on German language skills and project. Participation in a language course is compulsory if the study programme is taught in German.

An independent selection committee consisting of specialist scientists reviews applications.
The most important selection criteria are:

• Academic achievements
• Convincing academic and personal reasons for the planned study project in Germany
