University Guarantee Fund

The University Guarantee Fund is an academic qualification program offered by the Otto Benecke Foundation e.V., providing nationwide language courses, high school diploma courses, and targeted preparatory courses for university or university preparatory colleges. Participants benefit from professionally grounded teaching formats that support obtaining university entrance qualifications and linguistic integration. The grant aims to pave the way into the higher education system for migrants and refugees and to create a solid foundation for successful studies through practical teaching units, learning materials, and individual counseling. With the continuously open application process, interested individuals can pursue their academic goals at any time and improve their qualification requirements with professional guidance.

Eligible for funding are private individuals with a migration background who demonstrate their motivation for academic qualification and meet the participation requirements. When applying, the completeness of the application and fulfillment of participation conditions are taken into account. Applications must include a CV, proof of migration background, and a letter of motivation. Selection is based on clearly defined evaluation criteria to ensure equal opportunities and transparency. Through the grant, participants can not only deepen their German language skills but also expand their long-term professional and academic prospects in Germany. This program offers sustainable support for all those who wish to embark on the path into the academic world.
