International students looking to pursue postgraduate studies in Germany can now prepare for the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation Scholarship 2027, a fully funded programme offering monthly financial support, healthcare benefits, and research opportunities.

The Rosa Luxemburg Foundation has announced applications for its 2027 Scholarship Programme, providing funding for outstanding German and international students pursuing master’s and doctoral studies at recognised higher education institutions in Germany.

The prestigious scholarship is designed to support academically talented students who demonstrate strong social engagement and a commitment to the values of democratic socialism while removing financial barriers to higher education and research.

Scholarship Supports Postgraduate Study in Germany

Founded in 1990 and named after political thinker and revolutionary Rosa Luxemburg, the foundation supports research, education, and academic projects that promote social justice, democracy, and critical scholarship.

The scholarship programme offers successful applicants the opportunity to study or conduct research at leading universities across Germany while receiving comprehensive financial support throughout their studies.

According to the scholarship information, master’s students will receive a monthly stipend of €1,350, while doctoral candidates will receive €1,450 per month. Additional financial support includes a mobility allowance, healthcare assistance, and opportunities to participate in academic and cultural activities across Germany.

The programme is particularly aimed at students who wish to undertake research that aligns with the foundation’s principles and contributes to addressing important social, political, and global challenges.
