In 2012 the Baden-Württemberg Foundation gGmbH is publishing details of the Baden-Württemberg Scholarship for students attending the state universities (research universities, universities of applied science, pedagogical studies, music, and fine arts, and universities of co-operative education). The aim of the programme is to promote the international exchange of qualified German and non-German students.
Ludwigsburg University of Education will be participating in this scheme and offering a number of semester / year scholarships from €400,- per month.
Participating Institutions
Students from the following partner universities of Ludwigsburg University of Education may apply for a scholarship:
Victoria University Melbourne, Australia
Eligibility
To be eligible for the programme students must:
- be registered full-time with their university
A knowledge of German is desirable but not essential (please speak with your international office adviser if you are in doubt about this).
Application procedure and information
Students are entitled to apply for scholarship places published by their university. Normally your Office of International Affairs will be responsible for organising the selection procedure.
Scholarship applications for 2011-12 must be submitted to the universities by no later than 31.03.2012.
Scholarship Applications
Scholarship applications must include the following documents:
- letter of application, including study details and formal curriculum vitae
Selection Process
Candidates will be shortlisted by their university in consultation with Ludwigsburg University of Education. The results of the shortlisting procedure and the list of applicants are then passed on to a Central Scholarship Commission made up of delegates from the universities, the Landesstiftung and the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts. From there the selected applications are submitted to the Baden-Württemberg Stiftung for the final decision. Applicants will be notified of the outcome by the partner universities.
Obligations
Acceptance of a scholarship binds the candidate to enrolment at the university in question, to the dedicated pursuit of his/her chosen course of study, and to attendance at Landesstiftung functions. On completion, scholars are required to write a short report (max. 5 sides of A4) of their impressions and experiences during their stay. Duplicate copies should be submitted to their Baden-Württemberg host university prior to returning home. They are then passed on to the Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts in its capacity as project co-ordinator for the Landesstiftung. The reports are kept by the Baden-Württemberg Stiftung and documented appropriately.
