Scholarship benefits are not always tax-free

Berlin Scholarships are much less common in Germany than in Anglo-Saxon countries. Such support is especially important at elite universities in the United States, including their high tuition fees. After all, countless talented young men and women can only afford to train there.

However, finding a suitable scholarship here in Germany is also valuable. After all, for many, studying due to the high cost of living in a university town is becoming increasingly difficult to finance. The same important applies to post-training courses.

However, it is good to know that the benefits of scholarships are not tax-free. A Libyan doctor who worked as a guest doctor in a German hospital experienced this as part of his further training as a specialist. There his work coincided with the position of an assistant doctor, for which he received no pay from the clinic.
