Government-Sponsored Students & Scholarship Programs
Experienced academic preparation and student support for scholarship holders
We prepare scholarship holders whose tuition fees are covered by government institutions or funding organisations for studies at German universities – so far for the United Arab Emirates, the State of Qatar and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). Based on this experience, we are open to structured cooperation with government institutions and scholarship sponsors.
Please note: the SKHM does not award scholarships itself and does not accept scholarship applications. We support scholarship holders funded by other institutions – such as the United Arab Emirates, the State of Qatar or the DAAD. If you are looking for a scholarship, please contact the responsible funding organisation in your home country or the DAAD.
