Scholarships Database, Cover Letter & Notion Template

During my master's degree at TUM, I received 11 scholarships with a total of €25,000 (as a non-EU citizen), which has funded my stays abroad at Stanford University, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and Tsinghua University, and partially my living costs in Germany.

In this document I'll share with you:

-> 33 scholarships categorized in:

• the amount provided
• target group
• requirements
• deadline
• the purpose of funding (Germany or Abroad)
• language of application

-> My Notion template you can duplicate and use for organizing your scholarship applications.

-> The Cover Letter that has enabled me to receive 11 scholarships. Three of my friends used this cover letter as a template and got the scholarships they applied for!

NOTE: Everyone can benefit from the Scholarships Database (no matter their citizenship, study background, gender, etc.), however, most of the scholarship target students studying in German universities.
