Notice on data protection
Any personal data you have submitted will be treated confidentially and will be collected and processed for the sole purpose of selecting suitable applicants and for the administration of the Deutschlandstipendium. The legal basis for this is section 10 of the German Act for Scholarships (Stipendienprogrammgesetz, StipG). According to this Act, applicants for the scholarship program are obliged to provide any information required to check their aptitude and other requirements and to submit relevant proof of this. It is up to you which of these details you provide. If you are awarded a Deutschlandstipendium, the above-mentioned data will be forwarded to your sponsor provided you give your consent in the application form.
Statistics
According to section 13 of the Act for Scholarships, universities are obliged to transmit data on scholarship holders for the compilation of federal statistics. This is done without providing your name.
Random sampling to exclude double funding
In accordance with section 4 (2) of the StipG, the German Federal Ministry of Research and Education (BMBF) carries out spot checks of the data provided by the scholarship students in order to avoid double funding. For this purpose, the BMBF can retrieve and store last name, first name, date of birth, address and university location of individual funded students and compare this data with the data of other funding institutions. The university is obliged to transmit this data.

Herewith I confirm that I have read and understood the attached data protection information and consent to it. I can revoke this consent at any time.
