Grant foundations for gifted students
Thirteen state-funded grant foundations for gifted students have merged to form a group that provides comprehensive individual funding to scholarship holders. In addition to financial support, non-material and personal support is available, where liaison officers serve as mentors.
Visit the websites of the grant foundations for gifted students or contact them directly to find out more about requirements, funding guidelines, and how to apply. Please note that many of these external websites are only available in German. Additional information is also available at www.stipendiumplus.de.
