Scholarships and Trainee program

You as a student can apply for scholarships during your studies. A scholarship is a financial contribution from a fund or other actor and they are often linked to your field of study, your place of study or your city of study.

Trainee programs are usually aimed at newly graduated students at universities and colleges or young professionals, ie. those who have been in working life for a few years.

Contact the respective actor if you as a student have questions about an individual scholarship or a trainee program.
