PhD candidates have various opportunities to raise funds for their research projects and to earn a living during their doctorate through scholarships and individual funding programs. Some funding programs relate to certain phases (entry, completion), others to the entire duration of the doctorate (so-called full doctoral scholarships). There are also programs that provide funding for a specific objective, such as a stay abroad or active participation in a conference.

The Scholarship Advisory Service at Trier University provides advice on all aspects of (doctoral) scholarships:
