LMU Munich STIBET Mentoring Scholarship

LMU Munich states that the STIBET Mentoring Scholarship Program is offered by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and supports particularly qualified foreign doctoral candidates. LMU Munich also states that DAAD has suspended the STIBET Doktoranden program, so no scholarships can be awarded, with further information to be provided when the program re-opens.

LMU Munich states that its International Office awards scholarships for particularly committed doctoral candidates. LMU describes the aim as improving support for foreign students and doctoral candidates by having scholarship students take on support tasks or perform other services conducive to international exchange within their faculty, with integration into the international activities of their respective department.

LMU Munich states that the main prerequisite for funding is a commitment to promoting the department and supporting the supervision of international students, for example through social and professional mentoring, language tandems, cooperation in cultural programs, field trips, local interest events, support activities in student housing, and language courses. It also states that the decisive criterion for a successful application is outstanding academic performance. Applicants who receive funding from DAAD under another program are not eligible.

LMU Munich does not state a duration for support or any obligation after the scholarship. It states that, because DAAD suspended STIBET Doktoranden, no scholarships can be awarded, and further information will be provided when the program is re-opened.
