An internal pre-selection with a personal interview takes place at Hochschule RheinMain. Hochschule RheinMain forwards the selected applications with a nomination list to the Hessian Ministry of Science and Research, Arts and Culture (HMWK).
A Hesse-wide selection committee decides on admission to the program, informs the scholarship holders and sends the applications to the host universities in the USA or Australia.
Final admission is only granted once the host university has admitted the scholarship holder, which concludes the application process!
The scholarship within the framework of the Hessian Academic State Programs includes the waiver of tuition fees in the host country. All other costs are to be borne by the participants themselves.
An application for BAfög as well as applications for other scholarship programs, e.g. PROMOS, are possible. You can find an overview of funding opportunities here.
