A Merit Scholarship recognizes outstanding academic achievements made in an academic year. Merit Scholarships are announced in the summer months.

Thesis/Dissertation Scholarships serve to support Master’s Theses and Doctoral Theses of students of degree programs that have not yet been completed and involve special costs (e.g. stay abroad, extensive literature search, empirical studies). The scholarship can only be applied for before starting the work. A scholarship may not be less than EUR 750 and not exceed EUR 3,600 for one academic year. Students with Austrian citizenship, foreigners with equal status and stateless persons are eligible to apply.
