Applying for a scholarship or pursuing free tuition at a German university is now easier than ever. With just a few steps, you can secure admission and start your academic journey in Germany.
What is a Scholarship?
A scholarship covers the following:
- Tuition fees
- Accommodation
- Textbooks
- Feeding
- Monthly stipend
It is important to note that “free tuition” and scholarships are different.
- Free Tuition: This covers only tuition and study-related costs (e.g., textbooks). Students are responsible for their living expenses, including accommodation and feeding.
To study in a free tuition university in Germany, you must secure admission and apply for a student visa at the German embassy in Ghana.
Requirements for Admission to a German University
To apply to a free tuition university in Germany, you will need:
- A copy of your passport
- Academic certificates (e.g., BECE, WASSCE, university certificates)
- Your CV
- Transcripts
- A motivation letter
Block Account Requirement for a German Visa
For a Master’s degree program lasting two years (24 months), students are required to cover their living expenses, such as accommodation and feeding.
- Estimated Monthly Expenses: €400
- Total for Two Years: 24 months × €400 = €9,600
This amount must be deposited into a block account in Germany before the visa is issued.
How the Block Account Works
- The €9,600 is deposited into a German account before the visa is granted.
- Upon arrival in Germany, the university releases the funds monthly (€400) to cover living expenses.
The block account ensures that the student uses the visa for its intended purpose—studying.
Key Steps to Apply
- Apply to a German University: Upload all required documents during the application process.
- Secure Your Admission Letter: Once admitted, proceed to the German Embassy for your visa application.
- Deposit €9,600 into a Block Account: This is mandatory for the visa process.
- Receive Your Visa: Once your visa is approved, you can travel to Germany to begin your studies.
Studying in Germany offers excellent opportunities for academic and career growth. With free tuition and scholarships available, you can achieve your dream of studying abroad.
