Programme Description
The European Scholarship Programme You and Europe is aimed at European students wishing to complete a Master’s degree in Germany. “Europe” in this case is to be understood in its geographical entirety and thus independent of membership in the European Union. The objective of the programme is to promote European understanding while preserving cultural diversity. Specifically, the programme seeks to promote international dialogue on European issues and create a network of outstanding, socially engaged students who are committed to European cohesion. Through dialogue, exchanges and lasting connections between scholarship holders, the programme also endeavours to strengthen tolerance, respect and understanding as well as acceptance of opposing beliefs and cultural diversity. The programme was developed by the German Academic Scholarship Foundation (Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes) and the Alfred Toepfer Stiftung F.V.S. and will be financed cooperatively by both partners.
Target Group
The You and Europe Scholarship Programme is open to European students wishing to attend a 3- or 4-semester Master's programme in Germany (including bi-national programmes). By "Europe" we mean the geographical area in its entirety, not identified with the European Union alone: this therefore includes the 46 European countries and the State of Israel. Students who have already obtained a higher education qualification or degree in Germany are not eligible for a scholarship.

Application Papers
Candidates can only apply for the European Scholarship Programme if they have been nominated by a university lecturer. This nomination includes a letter of recommendation. University lecturers can submit nominations for suitable candidates in the form on the website. Based on these nominations, the Toepfer Stiftung invites candidates to submit their application documents. For this purpose, the candidates receive a link for an application form. The selection procedure consists of two stages. On the basis of the submitted documents, a jury decides in a preselection round which applicants will be invited to take part in the main selection procedure. In the latter, the finalists have the opportunity to introduce themselves and their studies. The selection interviews are conducted online and mainly in English.
Application Deadline
