Financing your stay
Before travelling to Osnabrück, you should think about how to finance your costs of living in Osnabrück. Apart from financing your own stay or receiving financial assistance from an institution in your homeland, there are various financial aid packages available from German institutions. At the University of Osnabrück, the Research Support Office (Forschungsreferat) will be glad to provide information about different financial possibilities.
In accordance with some partnership and exchange agreements, it is possible to arrange for short-term stays. Please contact your German host concerning financial assistance. The DAAD and the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation provide online date-bases for grants which allows to search for grants in special academic fields and for scholarships for different academic groups depending on their status.
Furthermore many of the programmes of the German Research Foundation (DFG) have a specific international focus. These opportunities include funding for individuals, individual projects and coordinated programmes, and measures aimed at preparing collaborative projects.
