Foundation of German Business (sdw): Academic study sponsorship

The Foundation of German Business (sdw) offers undergraduate and graduate students a vast number of opportunities ranging from various seminars and training programmes to financial support through the Klaus Murmann Fellowship Programme. The programme is centred on a variety of political, economic and social issues with corporate responsibility being an underlying theme throughout the entire course. Courses are held in German, so candidates should have at least intermediate-level command of German (C1 or DSH 2). The foundation strongly encourages communication between students and representatives from the fields of business, science, politics, culture and administration. Additional programmes are aimed at prospective teachers (Studienkolleg), students of childhood education (NicK – Nachwuchsinitiative chancengerechte Kitas), and at students with an affinity for media and business (markt. medien. machen). All scholarship holders receive a non means-tested study allowance of 300 EUR per month, with additional living support depending on the financial situation of the family. The scholarship does not need to be repaid and funding is available until the end of the standard period of study.
