The Graduate School offers financial aid for several aspects of graduate studies
All graduate students of the HGSFP are entitled to apply for funding for the following:
(a) Soft skills courses at Heidelberg University
(b) Bridging funds, funds to complete a thesis, or for the first year of our integrated master/doctoral programme
The Directorate may, at its discretion, fund other student activities. Before applying for such, we request that you contact the student representatives of the Graduate School, who may integrate your request into the student project plan for which a specific amount of funds is reserved annually.
Please note that we cannot fund attendance of conference visits, workshops or other scientific meetings (for exceptions, see equal opportunity funding). However you can apply to the Graduate Academy for support of this kind, see the link on the right hand side.
Should you wish to apply for support as listed above - or any other forms of support required - please fill out the form that you will find on the right hand side (link).
In order to support women in science, the Heidelberg Graduate School for Physics offers special aid for female doctoral students in specific instances, in addition to the usual support provided for all doctoral students, provided that sufficient funds are available.
Special support includes:
(c) Financial aid for female doctoral students whose doctoral studies are delayed by childbirth or child care. Family support can also be made available for male doctoral students, if the case warrants it. Also support to attend winter and summer schools, meetings and conferences.
Doctoral students requesting support must apply to the HGSFP in the usual way by completing the form below. (Login with your Uni-ID is required.)
