The Digital Governance Scholarship at Hertie School is an excellent opportunity for international students who want to study at the intersection of technology, policy, and public leadership. Offered for master’s-level study, this partial scholarship provides €38,500 in funding, making it easier for strong applicants to pursue graduate education in Berlin at one of Germany’s leading public policy schools. Because only two recipients are selected and a separate scholarship application with a personal statement is required, this award is especially suited for candidates who can demonstrate both academic promise and a clear interest in digitalisation and governance.
International students who are still deciding on the institution and program can also explore open courses in Germany to learn more about the different bachelor’s, master’s, and PhD options available across different institutions.
