• Students who are not in a semester of leave.

• Students who, in the winter semester in which the scholarship is awarded, are not already being funded via scholarships that are paid over several months (e.g. the Deutschlandstipendium) or are receiving a scholarship under the scholarship programme for foreign students.

• First-generation students, i.e. those whose parents do not have a (specialised) university degree.
• Students whose parents both have no qualifications higher than a lower secondary school leaving certificate.
