    Currently, the University of Applied Sciences Worms is advertising for scholarships from private sponsors.

    This year, 15 scholarships can be awarded.

    The Deutschlandstipendium scholarship is funded one half each (150 €) by a private sponsor and the Federal Republic of Germany. By law (Stipendienprogramm-Gesetz) the private sponsors can decide to assign a maximum of 2/3 of all scholarhips, awarded by this university in one year, to specific degree courses or departments. Thus, legally binding for this university, a sponsor defines the group to which a future scholarhip holder should belong to.

    Presumably this year the scholarship assignments to degree courses or departments will be:

    •  Programm Course/Department Informatics | 2
    •  Programm Course/Department Tourism and Travel Management | 1
    •  Programm Course/Department Business Administration | 5
    •  No specific earmarking for study programs | 7
