The DAAD is a large organization, whose mission is to promote the internalization of German universities by creating countless funding and counselling opportunities for inbound and outbound talented students in Germany. Erasmus +, the biggest European student exchanging scheme, offers some attractive opportunities to study in German for a limited number of semesters or for the whole course.
German universities participate in a large number of Erasmus exchanging projects. Some of the scholarships granted by private foundations ensure you the funds to finance your studies in Germany and aim to create bridges of intercultural relations. At the same time, there are various governmental-funded and non-governmental funded student loan resources, created to help you finance your studies in Germany by offering loans often with zero or very low rates of interest. Moreover, many German universities have established their own student loan schemes to support foreign students.
