While HfK itself does not offer scholarships (yet) or financial aid equivalent to a monthly salary, we support you in applying for a PhD scholarship with one of the main German scholarship foundations or the DAAD. Foundations often have a political or denominational association or select candidates in accordance with their respective mission statements. It is therefore important to apply to a foundation that is the right one for you as an individual, for your PhD topic, or for your career/background.
