Grants: We applied for financial support by Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst (DAAD) for the 2022 summer school. A decision was announced in December 2021: The DAAD has again agreed to award a limited number of scholarships to exceptional applicants. In the past, these have been covering the entire course fee, including accommodation (food is not included), and also travel expenses. In most, but unfortunately not in all cases the amount awarded by the DAAD covered the entire cost of your journey using economy standard travel options. We are still awaiting the final details of the DAAD‘s decision, but you may already apply to the scholarships expected from DAAD. If you feel you may qualify for one of these, please send us your application including:

- a letter applying for the said grant stating your motivation and reason to attend our summer school
- a CV (including results of relevant examinations)
- German language certificates or test results

- English language certificates or test results in case English is not your native language

- any other documents or references you feel might support your application.
All successful applicants are going to receive a letter in March informing them that their course fee will be paid directly by the DAAD, and how they can claim their travel expenses.


As the number of DAAD grants is limited, we have in the past also offered several grants of EUR 400 each for those who are otherwise unable to attend. If you feel this to be applicable to you, please send us a letter applying for the said grant, together with the documents mentioned above (ideally by e-mail). If you apply for a DAAD grant, please indicate whether you would like to be considered for our university’s grant in case your DAAD-application is not successful.

Registration and acceptance for the course is necessary in order to be able to apply for a grant or scholarship, so please register as soon as possible, even if you have not secured funding for your participation yet. We will not consider any grant applications by candidates who have not successfully registered through the zww-site beforehand. As a registered candidate you will also immediately receive information when grants become available.

Deadline for all grant applications: 1st of April 2022.
