Your talent. Your scholarship. Your future in Germany.

Apply by 15 August 2026 and win up to €7,000 toward your Sixth Form years.

Choosing where to spend your teenage years is choosing who you become. At International School OWL in Paderborn, students from around the world earn internationally recognised A-Levels through Pearson — a qualification that opens doors to universities everywhere, and especially in Germany.

The experience of a lifetime

A new country. A new language. Friendships that last. It’s the fastest way to grow up — in the best possible sense.

The commitment we make

A rigorous, globally respected curriculum. A safe, supportive environment. A school that knows exactly what university — and life abroad — really demands.

A head start on Germany

Long before university applications begin, our students are already:

Learn German
Understand the culture
Build local connections

The result: a transition to top universities like TU München, Heidelberg, or LMU that feels natural — not daunting.

Pearson A-Levels, built for real study paths

Every student takes:

Mathematics
English
Physics
German

Plus a specialisation in either Chemistry or Economics.

This isn’t arbitrary. It keeps almost every university course in Germany within reach — engineering, medicine, business, the sciences. Few programmes offer graduates this much flexibility at such a critical decision point.

The scholarship

Up to €7,000 toward your Sixth Form years — that’s 20% off tuition for scholarship recipients. Not a token gesture. A meaningful reduction that makes an internationally recognised, university-ready education genuinely more accessible.
We believe talent shouldn’t be limited by circumstance. This scholarship is how we prove it.
