Every year, achievement grants („Leistungsstipendien“) are made available to non-German students by the Hamburg Ministry of Science, Research, and Equal Rights, and by the DAAD co-financed by Karl H. Ditze Stiftung (»matching funds«). They consist of a grant of 450 euros monthly, lasting for up to one year.

Application

All non-German Bachelor students having completed the 4th semester and all Master students are eligible to apply for the DAAD Award 2021.

The first step is to apply online using an application form. After you have filled out the application form, you will receive a confirmation email with the request to upload the following documents as one PDF into a cloud:

• a short resume,
• a letter of recommendation from an HFBK professor.

Please note that each HFBK professor can only propose one student for the Achievement Grant Awards. Application deadline is January 15, 2021.

In the second part of the application procedure you will present a selection of your work to a commission. The commission tour takes place on January 21, 2021 in the HFBK (main building Lerchenfeld). Please organize a room on your own and prepare the selection of your work appealingly.

The DAAD Prize will probably be awarded during the opening of the 2021 Annual Exhibition.
