Commitment Scholarship

What is the Commitment Scholarship awarded for?

The Commitment Scholarship honours special extracurricular commitment in university life. This can be, for example

• participation in university committees (General Student Council and its committees, Institute Student Council, Senate, Faculty Council) or
• the organisation of a range of intercultural-integrative activities.

The commitment must have lasted for at least 6 months without interruption at the time of application.

Applicants must not have received any payment or other scholarships at the same time for their commitment (reimbursement of expenses as part of an honorary post is not counted as payment).

Applicants

• are international students without a German Abitur (‘Bildungsausländer/innen’),
• have been enrolled in a regular degree programme at the University of Jena for at least 1 semester at the time of application and must still be enrolled in a regular study programme at the time of selection, 
• can demonstrate at least good academic performance (2.5 and better) in the current degree programme.
