Scholarships & Support Models

Scholarship programmes

Incidentally, it is not only the "highly gifted" who can get a scholarship. In addition to good grades at school or university, many foundations take into account voluntary work or personal circumstances. Below you will find a collection of initial contact points to get an overview of the scholarship landscape.

There are a number of foundations for the gifted that provide financial and non-material support for students. Most of these foundations pursue a specific goal and, in addition to good school or study performance, place value on voluntary work or address a specific target group, such as persons with a migration background or first-year students who have completed vocational training.
You can find a list of these foundations here.
