The scholarship holders receive individual support during their studies and benefit from the broad funding approach of the programme. This includes a semester allowance of 1,290 EUR and financial support for stays abroad as well as professional and personal support.
The scholarship holders are supported in their personal development with a large number of offers. This includes soft skill seminars and language courses as well as summer academies.
