If students have scholarships, do they still need to maintain the blocked account amount in Germany?

Yes, if your scholarship fully covers your living expenses in Germany, you may not need to maintain a blocked account. The scholarship must be from a recognized organization and cover your entire stay.

- Source: Must be public funds or an organization recognized in Germany.
- Coverage: Should cover all living expenses for your full duration.

If your scholarship does not cover all expenses, you may still need a blocked account for the remaining amount.
