HessenFonds for Refugees and Researchers at Risk

As part of the HessenFonds, the Hessian Ministry of Higher Education, Research, Science and the Arts provides scholarships for exceptionally talented and high achieving students and researchers with refugee status at public higher education institutions in Hessen. The funding enables them to continue their studies or their scientific career at a public higher education institution in Hessen. Funding is usually awarded for 1 year, with students supported particularly in the introductory phase of their studies. HessenFonds funding is also available to highly qualified researchers including PhD students who are threatened by persecution in their home countries and need to be nominated by a university or university of applied sciences in the state of Hessen.
