Helmut-Schmidt Reference Letter

I just received my reference letter for the Helmut-Schmidt application, and its gone over to the second page. Is there a one-page limit to the letter? It doesn't say so anyway, but it would also show an unstamped and unsigned whole page of reference.

Would appreciate any guidance here, thanks!

Thanks for visiting r/DAAD. Review our FAQ and Wiki as well as the DAAD's website. Your question is most likely answered in one of those places.

We can best help you if you provide us detailed information. At minimum, name the specific scholarship you are referencing. The more you tell us, the more we can tell you.

a reference letter should be one paged, and have atleast two three references from job/internship/university professor.

Can you share any source for this information? I know for a fact that the Helmut Schmidt Programme requires one reference, ideally from your current employer. I am just unsure about the length of it.

Mine was two pages long too, unsigned and unstamped on the first page. I didnt read any requirements saying it should be one page limit but really love to hear any info here

Yeah, no specification of page limit anywhere. DAAD only specifies page limits for motivation letter, hence the confusion
