What is a scholarship?

Scholarships are a form of financial and non-material support for students. A total of 13 large foundations offer scholarships, including party-related organizations, denominational organizations, organizations of the social partners and other organizations. Probably the most important argument: scholarships are (almost) free!

In addition to financial support, there are other benefits that come with a fellowship, such as mentoring programs, study abroad, summer academies, special events, language training, and networking.

Why should you apply for an Ambassadorial Scholarship?

A scholarship can provide you with many benefits that can greatly enrich your time at university. Financial support allows you to focus more on your studies without the distraction of a part-time job. The scholarship also gives you the opportunity to participate in exciting extracurricular programs that give you new perspectives and valuable experience. Last but not least, the scholarship will allow you to meet inspiring and motivated people who can give you new impulses. All of these aspects will help you grow not only professionally, but also personally.

For a successful application, you should have the following qualities

• Good professional performance
• A strong personality
• A wide range of interests
• Social commitment
• The ability to make connections between different subjects
• A bridge builder between cultures
• The courage to take on responsibility
