It is available at German universities that choose to participate. Some scholarships are given to students through public-private collaboration, like companies, charities, or people who want to help.

These private sponsors give students 150 euros every month, and then the government also gives 150 euros each month, making it 300 euros for the student. Each university gives out these scholarships, and this means that students need to make sure they meet the specific rules or conditions that the university sets.
