The Amirana Scholarship is a funding program exclusively for international medical and dental students from the low and middle income countries of the Global South. Applications are open to international students who suddenly find themselves in financial difficulties due to circumstances beyond their control or who need special support in the final phase of their studies.
The Amirana Scholarship can only cover short periods of financial hardship (usually up to one year) but NOT your whole study programme.
The Amirana Scholarship is only available for the subjects dentistry and medicine (study locations Heidelberg and Mannheim) at Heidelberg University.
The Amirana Scholarship fund is available to students from low and middle income countries of the Global South who are in temporary financial need or require support in the final phase of their studies and who are not educational residents.
