Is it true that knowing German language can help get scholarships or citizenship in Germany?

Yes, knowing German can improve your chances for both scholarships and citizenship in Germany.

- Scholarships: Many German scholarships, especially for German-taught programs, require proof of German language proficiency. Even for some English-taught programs, having German skills can strengthen your application and show your commitment to integration.
- Citizenship: To become a German citizen, you must usually show German language skills at the B1 level (intermediate). Higher proficiency (C1) can sometimes shorten the residency period needed for naturalization.

Learning German expands your opportunities in both areas.
