Heinrich Böll Foundation: Student Scholarship

The Heinrich Böll Foundation is the Green political foundation that supports particularly gifted students from Germany and abroad. Every year, under the heading 'promoting talent', the foundation supports around 1,450 students and 200 doctoral students from all academic backgrounds and types of higher educational institutions in Germany and abroad. Each year, up to 250 new scholarship recipients join the programme. German and international students from any discipline and higher education institution are invited to apply for the scholarship. Scholarship recipients are tomorrow's experts and leaders, prepared to take responsibility and advocate the foundation's green ideals in an international context: ecology and sustainability, democracy and human rights, self determination and justice. The scholarship is geared to particularly gifted students showing excellent promise for future academic and professional careers, with involvement in line with the values of green policy. International students who have completed their first degree in their country of origin are especially encouraged to apply, with priority given to applicants from DAC countries who are still residing in their country of origin at the time of application.
