Deadlines for this scholarship
An award closing is only the first of the dates that matter. After it there is the deposit that keeps your place, the unconditional offer the funder wants to see before it pays, and a last day to arrive and register. Where the funder publishes none of these, the row says so — a blank is what the official page actually says, not something we have left out.

Who can apply
Master's and doctoral candidates applying from outside Germany (undergraduate not funded) with German B2/DSH-1; those already resident in Germany are excluded. Pakistan/India/Bangladesh/Gulf applicants apply from home.
What the award is
The Heinrich Boell Foundation (publicly funded, Green-affiliated) awards German study scholarships to international applicants at undergraduate, master's and doctoral level, with two application rounds per year. The official page states the online portal opens 15 January 2027 and closes 1 March 2027, with the second round running 15 July 2027 to 1 September 2027, and it gives priority to candidates applying from abroad rather than those already in Germany; applicants from DAC-listed developing countries are a stated priority group. The page does not print a stipend figure, so check the foundation's funding rates page before quoting an amount. Official source: https://www.boell.de/en/scholarships (checked 29 October 2026).Where these dates came from
The Boell Foundation runs two online-portal rounds a year closing 1 March and 1 September, with the portal opening about six weeks beforehand, so the next 2027-entry round closes 1 March 2027 (https://www.boell.de/en/application, checked 30 October 2026); applications go only through the foundation's own portal, not to DAAD or a host university. No scheme tuition/CAS/enrolment date is published, so those columns stay blank.
Deadlines move. Always confirm on the funder's own page before you book anything — the link above is where we read it.
