Constructor University Bremen Scholarship
Constructor University (formerly Jacobs University Bremen) is a private, fully English-taught international university in northern Germany, known for small classes, a residential campus, and a genuinely global student body across engineering, computer science, data science, physics, biochemistry, management, and the social sciences. Because it charges tuition (unlike Germany's free public universities), it operates a substantial financial-aid system combining merit scholarships with need-based support, so most admitted international students receive some level of tuition reduction, and the total package can be significant for strong or under-resourced applicants. For Sri Lankan students who want an English-medium, campus-based, US-style undergraduate or Master's experience in Germany without needing German, this is a distinctive option with strong personal support. The honest caveat: even after aid, private tuition plus residential living costs remain higher than at a free German public university, so compare the net cost carefully — but the English-only teaching, structured career support, and small cohorts are real differentiators. Confirm current aid levels and deadlines for your programme.

info How this award actually works
Who awards it
Constructor University (formerly Jacobs University Bremen) — not Lanka Scholar. We are not the awarding body and cannot grant, reserve or guarantee this award.
How you are considered
Through your admission application. Awards like this are usually assessed automatically from the application you already submit — there is typically no separate scholarship form to fill in.
What it covers
Merit & Need-Based Tuition Scholarships (partial to substantial). This is a reduction in tuition, not a full ride. You still fund the remainder, plus living costs and the balance your visa requires you to show.
Where we come in
We make the admission application strong enough to be competitive — course choice, documents, references and deadlines. The funder makes the decision.
fact_check Eligibility Criteria
International Applicant
Open to international applicants, including from Sri Lanka. The university is built around a globally diverse residential cohort.
Academic Merit
Merit scholarships reflect your A/L or Bachelor's results and overall profile. A strong academic record competes for larger reductions.
Financial Need Assessed
A large part of the aid is need-based; the university asks for family financial information and can add substantial support for genuinely under-resourced but able students. Complete the need assessment honestly and fully.
Net-Cost Reality
Aid reduces but does not eliminate private tuition plus residential living costs. Compare the net figure against free German public universities before committing — the trade-off is English-only teaching and high-touch campus support.

Apply for admission
Submit your application for the chosen Bachelor's or Master's through Constructor University's admissions portal with transcripts, essays, references, and English evidence.
Complete the financial-aid assessment
Provide the requested family financial information so the university can assess merit and need together. Applying earlier in the cycle helps with aid allocation.
Receive offer with aid package
The admission offer states your scholarship and any need-based support. Accept and pay the deposit to secure your place and award.
Arrange the German study visa
Apply for the German national (type D) study visa with your admission and aid letters, and proof of funds for the remaining costs (typically via a blocked account).

Looking for a scholarship because of the cost?
Then start here instead. Scholarships are competitive, usually partial, and decided by someone else — they are the least reliable way to make studying abroad affordable. Your destination and course choice move the number far more, and both are entirely within your control.
Work out your real number
Tuition, living costs, visa funds and flights for your destination — so you know the gap you are actually trying to close.
