HAUS Scholarship Application 2022

Heidelberg Alumni U.S. (HAUS) is pleased to invite applications for the 2022-23 HAUS Scholarships. The stipends are available to qualified students from a United States university planning to study at Heidelberg University.

Heidelberg University is consistently ranked as one of the best universities in Germany (rated #1 in 2019 by the Academic Ranking of World Universities) and one of the top-rated institutions of higher education and research in the world. Heidelberg University offers a wide range of study programs, and a strong international orientation: approx. one-fifth of the university’s over 30,000 students and one-third of its doctoral candidates are foreign nationals.

The scholarship award is $5,000 for Master’s program students or $3,000 for Bachelor’s program students for one semester.
