Two scholarships are awarded in each of the following six subject areas: agricultural and forestry sciences, biology, social sciences and humanities, musicology, art history and literature.
The scholarships are intended to provide financial support for longer stays abroad for applicants and their families. The scholarships can be used to finance both living expenses and the costs of the course itself. The budget of the application must indicate how the grant will be used and the report submitted to the Foundation after the completion of the study abroad must describe how the funds have been used. If the Foundation so requests, more detailed documentation/verifications must be submitted showing how the funds received have been used.
