Evonik Foundation Scholarship

The Evonik Foundation Scholarship supports research work in the field of natural sciences, including Master's theses, doctoral theses, and Postdoc research. The program focuses on active support of particularly gifted and skilled young scientists and includes mentoring of academic and personal skills. As the Evonik Foundation redefines its key funding areas each year, the proposed research must match the content criteria to be eligible for support. Research projects must be carried out by distinguished chemical research working groups at German higher education institutions or non-university research institutions. The scholarship provides financial support ranging from 250-600 EUR per month for 6 months for Master's theses, to 1,850 EUR per month for up to 3 years for doctoral theses. Additional applications can be filed to acquire specialist literature and to attend scientific conferences. Key funding areas are published annually in January with submission deadlines at the end of February each year.
