Overview

The International Office awards mobility grants within the framework of Erasmus+ for study stays at our partner universities and internships in Europe. Through the DAAD's PROMOS program, travel grants are awarded to students of Lübeck University of Technology. The student association IAESTE arranges paid internships worldwide. In addition, you can apply for university-owned programs.

Furthermore, there are numerous scholarship programs offered by the DAAD, various foundations and organizations. We have compiled an overview of the most important funding opportunities for you below.

You can take advantage of the following funding opportunities through the Lübeck University of Technology:

• Participation in the Erasmus+ program of the European Union
• Travel grants within the framework of the PROMOS program
• Shanghai scholarship (China)
• Paid internships abroad through IAESTE LC Lübeck
• MSOE Double Degree Program (USA)
• Tuition fee waiver within international partnerships

Depending on the subject and country, additional funding opportunities are available:

• Scholarship database of the DAAD
• Foundation index of the Association of German Foundations
• Scholarship platform mystipendium.de
• Fulbright Commission for stays in the USA

he DAAD supports students at universities of applied sciences during their stays abroad with the HAW.International program. Students in Bachelor's and Master's programs receive scholarships for a stay abroad as part of their studies, internship or thesis. The duration of the grant varies according to the type of stay. The scholarship includes the following benefits:

• a monthly scholarship installment, which is determined according to the host country,
• a travel allowance, the amount of which varies according to the host country,
• health, accident and personal liability insurance benefits,
• for study visits: Subsidy for tuition fees, if any, up to an upper limit (depending on the destination country),
• for theses: Subsidy for travel in the host country directly related to the project.

In addition, family benefits for accompanying spouses or partners and children can be granted upon application under certain conditions. Simultaneous funding via Erasmus+ or PROMOS and HAW.International is excluded.

Further information on the program is available online:  HAW.International: Semester Stays and Theses and HAW.International: Internships Abroad

For study and internship stays, benefits can be applied for according to the BAföG-Auslandszuschlagsverordnung:

• Monthly foreign supplement for education outside the EU/Switzerland.
• Verifiable tuition fees (up to 4,600 euros per academic year)
• Subsidy for travel expenses
• Subsidy for health insurance.

The payments according to the BAföG-Auslandszuschlagsverordnung are in principle made as a grant (repayment-free) and as an additional semester to the domestic BAföG.

Note: The subsidy rates for BAföG abroad may mean that someone who is not eligible in Germany due to the level of their parents' income can still receive a subsidy. Therefore, we generally recommend that you submit an application and obtain information.

Important: Applications for funding abroad should be submitted at least six months before the start of the planned stay abroad.

Another way to secure funding for a stay abroad is through education and student loans. These mostly low-interest loans offer targeted financial support and can often be flexibly adjusted.

In contrast to BAföG, the federal government's education loan program is independent of the student's own income and assets as well as those of his or her parents or spouse or partner, and can also be obtained in addition to BAföG.
