SRH Scholarships for Young Entrepreneurs

Invest more time in your own business

As a young business owner, it’s not easy to manage a degree at the same time – and financing it in addition to your own company is a real challenge! As an entrepreneur-friendly university, SRH University makes financing easier for young business owners through an SRH Scholarship so that they can devote themselves fully to their studies and their business idea.

SRH Scholarships for Young entrepreneurs

The scholarship can be awarded to prospective students or students who have already founded their own business or have a start-up idea that they would like to develop.

If you would like to apply for the scholarship, you should be enrolled or have submitted a regular application for a degree program at SRH University of Applied Sciences Heidelberg (all locations). You should also meet the university entrance requirements and admission criteria for this program. Dual degree programs are not required.

Please submit the following documents for the application:

  • Letter of motivation for the scholarship
  • ONE letter of recommendation from a schoolteacher, a university lecturer, or a professor from the respective field of study
  • Current curriculum vitae
  • If applicable, a current overview of grades from your previous studies
  • School-leaving certificate and if applicable, certificate of a first university degree
  • Certificate of enrolment or signed study contract for applicants from EEA countries* or Final admission letter for applicants from non-EEA countries**
  • 5-10 page paper of your business idea (to be developed or started)
  • If applicable, proof of special qualifications for the studies (e.g. proof of social commitment, special skills, language certificates, awards, experience abroad, certificates of internships relevant to the studies, certificates of vocational training, etc.).
  • If applicable, reasons that make it difficult or pose special challenges for your studies, e.g. financial or family difficulties, disabilities, etc.

*For applicants from EEA countries: Please note that you must upload the signed study contract and the enrolment fee must be paid before the meeting of the scholarship committee (mid-October for the winter semester).

**For applicants from non-EEA countries: You can apply with the Pre Admission Letter. However, you must have the Final Admission Letter (fees must be paid) before the Scholarship Committee meets and decides on the award of the scholarship (mid-October for the winter semester). If you are awarded the scholarship, the tuition fees you have already paid will be refunded.

The application period for the winter semester 2026 is expected to start in summer 2026. We will announce the exact dates in good time.

The scholarship is a full scholarship. This means for you: You do not have to pay tuition fees during the standard period of study.
