PROMOS Scholarship: Come TU Dortmund
Exchange programs can only work if TU Dortmund University's students come up with great ideas at their host universities to spread the word about Dortmund and this university's wonderful programs. We need Dortmund students who are so convincing that the students from abroad are willing to continue paying their high tuition fees to come to Dortmund, ensuring space at the foreign university for future generations of Dortmund students.
Show us which creative ideas and projects you carried out at the host university and how you tried or are trying to convince students to study abroad for one or two semesters in Dortmund.
Eligible Stays Abroad
Who Can Apply?
Students who participated in the Overseas Exchange Program (ISEP and bilateral, coordinated through the International Office).
Students who went abroad independently as so-called "Free Movers" at one of the overseas bilateral or ISEP partner universities.
The call for applications is only valid for stays abroad during the same calendar year as the deadline.
Not Eligible:
- Study abroad through a departmental exchange program (e.g. Erasmus+; overseas bilateral departmental cooperation)
- Stays abroad in short-term programs (summer and winter schools)

Scholarship
Students with the best activities will receive a stipend for three months according to the country-specific rates from the DAAD (the column "Teilstipendium Aufenthalt" ).
It is not possible to receive two scholarships at the same time - you may not receive a PROMOS scholarship as well as another scholarship for the same timeframe.

The decision will be announced approximately one month later.
