Financial Support

The TUM Graduate School offers financial support for doctroral candiates in their last dissertation stage whose doctoral progress has been delayed due to family obligations and/or long-term illness. 

With the TUM-GS Diversity Degree Completion Grant, the TUM-GS supports doctoral candidates in every field of research during the final phase of the doctorate. This grant is meant to support doctoral candidates whose doctorate has been delayed due to pregnancy, maternal/parental leave, child care, severe illness/disability or by being a care of family members.

Please note that delays in the doctoral process caused by the Coronavirus alone cannot be supported by the TUM-GS Diversity Degree Completion Grant. 

The typ and the amount of the grant vary according to your current source of funding (whether you are employed by TUM or are a scholarship holder).
