KIT (Royal Tropical Institute)

Finding funding is one of the challenges faced by students wanting to study at KIT Institute. Below are a few suggestions which may be useful.

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.

For your convenience we have listed below a number of funding agencies that may be prepared to sponsor candidates needing financial support, and links to other fellowship pages. This overview is intended as a starting point only, and applicants are strongly encouraged to explore a wide range of additional funding opportunities. Some of the organisations listed have supported KIT students in the past; however, availability and criteria may change from year to year. This page can be used as a starting point for your search for funding.
