Germany offers you an excellent plethora of opportunities for all parts of your academic life. Be it your bachelor's program or post-doctoral research, Germany has options for all. And if you are looking for a career in research, Germany is indeed a go-to country. However, studying abroad is an expensive affair. And even though studying in Germany (with low or no tuition at its state-run universities) is still cheaper as compared to other countries, it is still expensive to stay there. But there is good news for students. A variety of organizations and research institutes offer scholarships to international students, providing them with grants that would sustain the living expenses (or part of the projects) in Germany.
