QSL Scholarships

In its internationalisation strategy, Fulda University of Applied Sciences aims to increase the number of stays abroad by students. In order to financially support students' stays abroad, each department - weighted according to the number of its students - receives a share from the QSL programme.

• non-European study visits with a minimum duration of 3 months
• non-European internship stays with a minimum duration of 2 months (60 days), which are recognised by the departments.

Further information can be found in the Award Guidelines. The funding rates can be found in this table.

Bachelor's students from the 3rd semester or Master's students from the 1st semester who have a grade point average of at least 2.5 are eligible to apply. For students of Master's programmes, the final grade of the Bachelor's certificate applies.

Important information:

• Recipients of BAföG abroad cannot receive a travel allowance from QSL funds, as a travel allowance is already included in BAföG funding abroad.

• If more applications are received than funds are available, the International Office will draw up ranking lists within the departmental quotas on the basis of average grades.
