Partial scholarships are reductions to tuition fees that range from 10% to 50%. All applicants with demonstrated financial need can apply for Hertie School partial scholarships.
Scholarships for students from all backgrounds
Financial need is calculated by subtracting your available funds from the total estimated cost of the programme, including living expenses. Applicants who can fully fund the two-year programme themselves are not eligible for partial scholarships. At the Hertie School, our mission is to foster an inclusive learning environment where merit takes priority over financial means. In assessing need, we also consider access to external funding, such as loans and income-share agreements.
The sooner you apply, the higher the chances to be awarded a partial scholarship.
