Overview

The Hanns Seidel Foundation (HSF) awards highly sought-after scholarships to outstanding Master's and doctoral students to study at universities and colleges in Germany, thereby recognizing their excellent academic achievements.  Eligible candidates are carefully pre-selected by our international offices.  The scholarships are awarded for a period of 12 to 36 months, depending on the needs of the HSF project office and the academic requirements. In exceptional cases, funding may also be available for bachelor's degree programmes.

Participants in these programmes receive generous financial support, personal mentoring, access to a varied seminar programme, activities with fellow scholarship holders at their place of study, membership of an international network and various training courses to enhance their skills and abilities.

How to apply for Hanns Seidel Foundation (HSF)

  • Applicants must apply online.
  • Before the deadline, applicants must set up letters of academic recommendation.
  • Candidates should exercise caution because incomplete applications cannot be submitted via the web, and unrecorded volunteer activities will not be taken into account.
  • Timing is the main factor that applicants should consider.
  • For undergraduates, PhD candidates, and foreign applicants, a second application window will open from December 15, 2026, to January 15, 2027.
  • This implies that candidates may still be given another opportunity during the winter round if they are not prepared for the summer cycle.
  • However, candidates shouldn’t view this as a last-minute form submission.
  • Comprehensive academic, personal, and voluntary participation documents are required by the foundation. Because of this, early planning is crucial.
