Finding funding is one of the challenges faced by students wanting to study at KIT. Below are a few suggestions which may be useful.
Explore different options and apply early!
It is important to explore different options and apply to as many different scholarship agencies as possible. Most agencies offer just a few scholarships each year, so applying to several will improve your chances of receiving a scholarship. Finding a scholarship requires motivation, time and inventiveness. It is very important to start applying to funding bodies well in advance, as it often is a lengthy process.
Be creative: Many options are not listed anywhere but are worth investigating. Suggestions: governments, universities and employers, a.o. etc.
