    To whom it may concern,

    My name is Ana Donevska and I am from Macedonia. I am about to graduate from New York College-Empire State College in Thessaloniki, Greece with major in International Relations. I am aspiring to go for a Master’s degree in International Peace and Security. I read the announcement that you offer scholarships for the University of Hamburg, and i have several questions regarding that. Do i need an admission to the university before i apply for the scholarship?Also, i am fluent in English, but have little knowledge in German. Am i still eligible? In addition, could you please give me more info about the process itself?

    Happy Holidays and Thank you,
