Every year the Uni Halle and the DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) award a prize to a foreign student or doctoral student, who has shown throughout his or her studies to have outstanding achievements and social or intercultural commitment.
The requirements in order to be eligible to apply and win the prize are the following:
- Students should be at least in their 2nd academic year of an undergraduate degree programme or at least in the 3rd semester of a graduate degree programme. Students who have completed their studies (October 2021 at the earliest) can also win the prize.
- Degree seeking foreign students enrolled at the Martin-Luther-Univeristät Halle-Wittenberg. Students must have acquired their university entrance qualification at a school abroad (this includes German schools abroad) or they have supplemented school qualifications abroad with a German Studienkolleg.
The prize will be awarded to only one person, and it consists of a total of 1,000 EUR. The prize winner will be selected by the University Awards Committee of Martin-Luther-Univeristät Halle-Wittenberg and the award ceremony will be in May 2022.
