As a partner of the Humboldt-Universität in the promotion of young academics

• Receive regular invitations to our scholarship award ceremonies and regular get-togethers.
• Organise workshops and lectures for our scholarship holders together with us.

Funding agreement

If you would like to sponsor one or more scholarships, please contact us. We will discuss all the details with you and conclude a sponsorship agreement. Scholarships are awarded at the Humboldt-Universität starting from 1st April, at the beginning of the summer semester. The funding amount can be transferred in one go or in instalments, and you will, of course, be given a receipt for your donation.

Selection of sponsorship recipients

We regularly receive over 700 applications for funding, on average, per application period. We pass the applications on to our selection committee, which selects the scholarship recipients.

Matching process

Once the selection of scholarship recipients is complete, we determine who will be sponsored by whom (matching). We will, of course, do our best to take into account any additional sponsorship requests you may have.

Getting to know each other and networking

After the selection committee has made its decision, the sponsorship contracts are signed with the scholarship holders. In June, our scholarship award ceremony takes place, at which the certificates are awarded, and our scholarship holders and sponsors have the opportunity to get to know each other. Other events and regular get-togethers take place throughout the year.
