Employments are not generally forbidden in addition to the scholarship, but it must be pointed out that income, which exceeds the annual basic tax-free amount will cause a reduction of the scholarship (see above). In General, the university’s management will not award a scholarship in addition to an employment at BTU. The only exception is if scholarship holders work as research or teaching assistant (“Wissenschaftliche Hilfskraft”) at BTU. However, according to § 6 (6) of the BTU Scholarship Framework Directive shall not exceed 8 hours/week. The scholarship holders are obliged to inform the GRS about any employment contract with BTU.
