We expect our scholarship recipients to have excellent academic records, to be socially and politically engaged, and to have an active interest in the basic values of the foundation: ecology and sustainability, democracy and human rights, self-determination and justice.

We promote those studying at and graduating from all faculties and all types of higher education. In addition to our current focus on Humanities and Social Science as well as Fine Arts and Cultural Studies, we will, in the future, be extending our scholarship to as yet under-represented specialist subjects such as Economics, Law, Engineering, Media Science and Natural Science.

Please note: We are changing our application process to an online application.

The application form will be completed online; additional application documents will be submitted as pdf.

Please make yourself acquainted with the new process in advance, if you are considering applying by 1 September 2012.

From July on, please use the new online application mask at www.boell.de/studienwerk for your application.
