Yes, applying now for the April 2027 intake in Germany gives you a good chance to qualify for scholarships, as many have deadlines in the months before the intake.

- DAAD Study Scholarships: Deadlines are typically around December 1 for funding starting the following year.
- Heinrich Böll Foundation: Spring session applications are open January 15 to March 1.
- University scholarships: Deadlines vary; for example, University of Hamburg's deadline for April intake is October 15.

With your 8.4 GPA in Computer Science and expected 2026 graduation, you are a competitive applicant. However, you will need to take an English proficiency test like IELTS, as most scholarships require it.

If you need help identifying or applying for scholarships, your LeapScholar counsellor can guide you through the process.
