Overview
StipendiumPlus: more than just a scholarship, more than just one scholarship opportunity. We are thirteen organizations for the promotion of young talent which have come together under the umbrella of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) to provide support to students and young researchers with special talents.
Details
You have therefore got a dozen possibilities to choose from and to match your personal interests and your study priorities. There are ideologically neutral organizations as well as others that are more politically associated, denomination-based or are run by the unions or employers’ associations. We adopt and represent different views and positions which reflect the plurality of our democratic society, yet we share the same goal. We are dedicated to promoting the common good and are assuming responsibility for the society in which we live. We have established common rules and aims in coordination with the BMBF. Our motto is 'Diversity in Unity'.
We are striving to achieve this vision for people like you. It is our hope that you will be inspired to share our enthusiasm. Clearly, you stand only to gain. For decades we have represented a large network with lots of experience and many contacts both in Germany and abroad – and with an unflagging curiosity about innovation.
What do I have to consider when applying?
Apply as early as possible. The sooner you apply, the longer we can promote you. It is also important that you inform yourself comprehensively and prepare your application well, and that you prepare your application documents for the work of your choice. This is what gives us a very first personal impression of you: Who are you? What values do you stand for? Why did you choose the respective work for an application?
Basically, you apply with an application form, your CV, reports, and testimonials. Nevertheless, you should inform yourself at each talented development agency about application procedure and application deadlines, as they want to have your complete documents available at different times.
