Here is a list of websites and Foundations/Stiftungen that offer scholarships and stipend here in Germany, also check out your university’s website to see what they’re offering their students, usually there’s an annual Stipendium from the state (at least in NRW).
Don’t be scared by the numerous requirements, this is Germany land of bureaucracy. Also something to note is most don’t give a lump sum rather they give it per month; and some are limited only to a few months. Read all documents before you sign them.
