Overview
THE BADEN-WÜRTTEMBERG FOUNDATION is committed to a vibrant and livable Baden-Württemberg. It paves the way for cutting-edge research, diverse educational measures and the responsible treatment of our fellow human beings. The Baden-Württemberg Foundation is one of the largest operational foundations in Germany. It is the only one that invests exclusively and non-partisanly in the future of Baden-Württemberg - and thus in the future of its citizens.
The BW scholarship is available to fund study abroad by university students from African, Caribbean, and Pacific countries (called ACP states) and Least Developed Countries (LDC).
Details
The number of exchange students from the African, Caribbean, and Pacific (ACP) countries and the Least Developed Countries (LDC) in the Baden-Württemberg-STIPENDIUM is still very low at the moment. In 2017, the supervisory board decided to increase funds for the Baden-Württemberg-STIPENDIUM by one million euros to promote networking with these countries. In accordance with the development policy guidelines of the state of Baden-Württemberg, these additional funds are intended to benefit especially students from these countries.
The Regionale Entwicklungspolitische Komponente (Regional development policy components/REK) are designed for this purpose. As with the regular BW scholarship, international students can come to Germany under this project line, while university students from Baden-Württemberg can study in ACP/LDC countries.
However, the process for the REK is less bureaucratic:
- International university students do not have to come from a Baden-Württemberg scholarship partner university.
- International university students who want to spend time abroad in Baden-Württemberg can apply for the programme even if their university doesn't have a partner university in Baden-Württemberg.
- In addition, the minimum scholarship duration is shorter.
