The SBW Berlin International Scholarship 2025 in Germany is a fully funded scholarship program for outstanding and socially committed international students who wish to pursue Bachelor’s or Master’s degree programs in Germany. The scholarship covers full tuition fees, free accommodation in Berlin, and a monthly living stipend, helping students focus entirely on their academic and social development goals. It is specifically aimed at young individuals from developing or crisis-affected countries who have financial need and a strong desire to use their education to implement meaningful social projects in their home countries after graduation.

SBW Berlin Scholarship recipients are expected to enroll in a Bachelor’s or Master’s program at a public university or university of applied sciences located in Berlin or Potsdam. These institutions are internationally recognized for academic excellence, diverse study programs, and supportive learning environments. Whether studying in fields like social sciences, economics, architecture, or engineering, scholarship recipients benefit from Germany’s high-quality education system and a strong network of mentors provided by SBW Berlin. After completing their degrees, students are expected to return to their home countries and actively apply their knowledge to promote positive community change. 📚 Register now for our new programs at MK SCHOLARS.
