RWTH Aachen You and Europe - European Scholarship Programme 2026

Subscribe for Scholarship Alert!

The European Scholarship Programme is aimed at European students wishing to complete a master’s program in Germany. “Europe” in this case is to be understood in its geographical entirety and thus independent of membership in the European Union. The objective of the program is to promote European understanding while preserving cultural diversity. Specifically, the program seeks to promote international dialogue on European issues and create a network of outstanding, socially engaged students who are committed to European cohesion. Through dialogue, exchanges and lasting connections between scholarship holders, the program also endeavors to strengthen tolerance, respect, and understanding as well as acceptance of opposing beliefs and cultural diversity.

The program is organized by the German Academic Scholarship Foundation (Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes) and the Alfred Toepfer Stiftung F.V.S. and funded by both partners.
