Max Weber Programme of the Free State of Bavaria

The Max Weber Programme is intended for highly-talented students enrolled at universities in Bavaria. On the one hand, students can, under certain circumstances, directly enter the programme after gaining their Abitur school-leaving certificate; in such cases the student is nominated for the programme. Alternatively, personal application is also possible as from the 3rd academic semester. After successful application, participants receive the scholarship during their undergraduate studies and in the following consecutive Master's programme. This includes a flat-rate education allowance of 480 euros per semester plus numerous additional study-integrated measures. All in all, 400 scholarship holders per year are accepted. The students are selected via the German National Academic Foundation.
