BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg STIBET I Scholarship

The BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg STIBET I Scholarship and Support Programme provides scholarships for international students. It offers scholarships for completion of studies and scholarships for particularly dedicated students, and the programme is supported by DAAD financed by funding of the Federal Foreign Office. The International Relations Office states it awards a limited number of scholarships to international students enrolled at BTU within the framework of STIBET I.

The scholarships are aimed at international students enrolled at BTU and are split into two types: scholarships for completion of studies and scholarships for particularly dedicated students. For completion, students must perform well academically and graduate successfully within one year. For particularly dedicated students, the student must also perform well academically, and exceptional commitment in the international context at their university must be distinguishable.

Selection for the completion of studies scholarships is based on academic performance, with hardship “apart from self-inflicted trouble” to enable students to concentrate on their studies and facilitate attainment of their degree. If academic qualifications are equivalent, the social situation is the deciding factor. For particularly dedicated students, scholarships are awarded according to professional and non-professional qualifications, including examples such as social and subject-specific support, language tandem cooperations, participation in cultural programmes and events, or active membership in an international or other student association that supports international students.

Support is described only in terms of the scholarship’s purpose. For scholarships for completion of studies, the prerequisite includes graduation successfully within one year, and the scholarship aims to financially support students during this completion period so they can focus on their studies.
