The German Academic Scholarship Foundation (German: , or ''Studienstiftung'' for short) is Germany's largest and most prestigious scholarship foundation. According to its statutes, it supports "the university education of young people who, on account of their exceptional academic or artistic talents and their personalities, can be expected to make an outstanding contribution to society as a whole". The ''Studienstiftung'' is non-political, non-denominational and ideologically independent. Its headquarters are located in Bonn; it also has an office in Berlin. The current president is University of Bonn director , and its patron (') is the

.
The ''Studienstiftung,'' like 12 other scholarship foundations (), is funded by the German
Federal Ministry of Education and Research, with funds from the federal government, the German federal states and local authorities, numerous foundations and businesses as well as numerous private donors. In 2023, the ''Studienstiftung's'' budget was over €126 million. Between 1925 and 2024, it has supported over 100,000 students and doctoral candidates; , it had over 84,000 alumni worldwide.

The selection process is extremely rigorous and only those students who show outstanding academic and personal promise are chosen. The Studienstiftung awards scholarships to fewer than 0.5% of German students. It is sometimes referred to as Germany's "secret elite university".
History
Initially founded in Dresden in 1925 as a department of the
Deutsche Studentenschaft, an amalgamation of German student committees, the Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes was dissolved in 1934 under
National Socialism

Admission
The Studienstiftung offers a general scholarship for bachelor's and master's studies that consists of both financial and academic support. Eligibility is based on the criteria for
BAFöG, the German state support system for students. The Studienstiftung scholarship accepts only applicants that study full time at university. A part of an applicant's university studies must be at a university in Germany, in another EU country, or in Switzerland. German or EU citizenship are not required, and there are no age criteria.
The Studienstiftung accepts exceptionally talented students and doctoral candidates selected in accordance with its mission statement, which is based upon the principles of "excellence, initiative and responsibility". Scholarship holders (scholars) are admitted through various channels:
# Nomination by a school: The principal of a high school or school with an upper secondary level can nominate one in 30 senior students for admission to the Studienstiftung. This student must excel both academically and in terms of social commitment. Nominated students attend a three-day selection seminar where their eligibility for funding is assessed in individual interviews and group discussions. 26.6% of students nominated in 2023 were offered admission to the Studienstiftung. There is no set admissions quota for the number of students admitted each year.
# Nomination by professors: Students at universities and universities of applied science can be nominated directly by university teachers. Again, candidates attend a selection seminar. In 2023, 40,8% of students nominated by their professors were offered admission to the Studienstiftung.
# Nomination by an examination board: Just as students can be nominated by schools, one in every 50 students in the second academic year in his/her respective study programme can be nominated by universities and universities of applied science. The nomination must be supported by a professor. The selection seminar is organised along the same lines as the selection seminar for students nominated by schools. In this case, however, the candidate's proven academic achievements at university also carry weight. In 2023, 23,5% of nominees were offered admission.
# Winners of a national or federal competition or nomination by select cooperation partners: Winners of or participants in various competitions on a national, federal or international level (e.g.
Bundeswettbewerb Informatik,
Bundeswettbewerb Mathematik,
Bundeswettbewerb Fremdsprachen,
Jugend forscht
Jugend forscht ( "Youth researches"), commonly abbreviated as Jufo, is a German youth science competition. With more than 10,000 participants annually, it is the biggest youth science and technology competition in Europe. It was initiated in 1965 ...
,
Jugend debattiert,
Internationale Mathematik-Olympiade,
Internationale Physik-Olympiade,
Altsprachenwettbewerb des Landes Baden-Württemberg) may be offered admission to the Studienstiftung. Select cooperation partners (e.g. START-Stiftung) may also nominate potential sponsorship candidates.
# Assessment Test: Since February 2010, candidates can also put themselves forward for a scholarship. First and second-semester students can sign up for the Studienstiftung assessment test in January/February/March each year. The test is held at test centres throughout Germany. The applicants with the best results are invited to attend the selection seminar. While the assessment test determines applicants' cognitive abilities, the selection seminar focuses on motivation, extracurricular interests, social commitment and social skills, which are assessed in personal interviews and group discussions.
# Nomination by alums: Studienstiftung alums may also nominate students who they consider appropriate, having taught them personally in school or university courses.
# Support of musicians and artists: After an internal pre-selection procedure, universities can nominate students of the fine arts, music and the performing arts for participation in a Studienstiftung selection seminar.
If admission occurs before the end of the fourth semester, sponsorship is usually granted until the end of the sixth semester. An extension of the scholarship beyond the sixth semester usually depends on academic performance in the first four semesters. In borderline cases, aspects other than academic achievements – such as exceptional social engagement or particular personal circumstances – may positively influence the decision to approve further funding. After an application has been approved, funding is awarded from the 6th semester until studies are completed (for example, until the master's degree or state examinations have been completed). In 2023, 93,5% of requests for further funding were approved.
The Studienstiftung also offers a doctoral scholarship for highly qualified and prosocial PhD students. The doctoral scholarship accepts applications from doctoral candidates at universities in Germany and at universities worldwide under certain conditions.
Scholarships
General scholarship for undergraduate, graduate and PhD students
The general Studienstiftung scholarship consists of both financial and academic support.
Financial support
Financial support includes an allowance (€300 monthly) and subsidies for health and long-term care insurance. Scholars can receive a need-based basic scholarship, which is calculated according to the BAföG (
Federal Training Assistance Act) and can be up to €855 per month. Additional funds are provided for studendts with children.
PhD scholars receive a monthly award of €1,550 (from 1st October 2025: 1,650€ plus a research allowance of €100. Additional funds are provided for PhD students with children. Financial support is regulated by the guidelines of the German Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).
Visits abroad are also supported by grants or overseas allowances and the partial payment of tuition fees. Under the terms of No. 11
Einkommensteuergesetz (EStG – German Income Tax Law) scholarship payments are tax-free.
Academic support
The Studienstiftung's academic support includes

s and mentoring by liaison professors, academics who carry out this task for the Studienstiftung on a voluntary basis. Scholars are required to submit a report on their studies and other activities every semester during the first semesters (usually until the end of the fourth semester), and once a year thereafter. Scholars can also apply for funding in order to organise their own conferences and other events.
The Studienstiftung offers yearly two-week subsidised summer academies, which are its "central event format" for scholarship holders. Scholars themselves can also organise shorter academies and benefit from similar subsidisation. For instance,

Internal scholarship programmes
In addition to its regular scholarship scheme, the Studienstiftung offers internal scholarship programmes for selected scholars and alumni. Examples include the KAUST-Studienstiftung programme, a joint partnership between the Saudi Arabian
