We are pleased to announce the new call for applications for the one-year scholarships sponsored by the Free State of Bavaria 2026/27 for graduates from Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe. Graduates from Ukraine (with appropriate citizenship) are eligible to apply to BAYHOST.

The scholarships are intended to finance postgraduate studies (i.e. Master's programs) and PhDs at Bavarian higher education institutions. A one-year study in Bavaria as part of a PhD in the home country can also be funded. The one-year scholarship can be extended twice for up to 3 years; the scholarship amounts to €992 per month.
