Parallel conveying

Whether parallel funding with another scholarship is possible depends on the amount and type of scholarship funding. As a general rule, anyone who already receives material support based on aptitude and performance that amounts to an average of 30 euros or more per month cannot receive a Deutschlandstipendium. Please use the detailed tabular overview of the admissibility of receiving other scholarships at the same time as the Deutschlandstipendium.
