Benefits
Non-material support
- Our scholarship recipients can expect a comprehensive range of socio-political seminars, workshops, and skills training. Scholarship groups are located in numerous cities, and there are 18 thematic working groups across the country that warmly welcome scholarship recipients. They are also integrated into a large network of current and former scholarship recipients and exchange ideas with one another.
- This non-material support enables scholarship recipients to exchange ideas in a values-driven environment. This empowers them to gather sufficient information, act thoughtfully, make decisions, and thus strengthen their participation in society. Many former scholarship recipients serve as mentors, offering advice and practical support on all aspects of their studies and career planning. Furthermore, our program is characterized by personalized support and guidance for scholarship recipients.
