You and Europe – European Scholarship Programme

The You and Europe – European Scholarship Programme is a master's scholarship for students from selected European countries who wish to complete a master's degree in Germany. The programme funds the standard duration of a master's degree (typically two years) and promotes international dialogue on European issues, networking, and intercultural exchange among outstanding, socially engaged students. Around 13 or 14 scholarships are granted each year, with typically about 27 scholars in Germany at any time. The programme was developed and is financed cooperatively by the Alfred Toepfer Stiftung F.V.S. and the German Academic Scholarship Foundation (Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes).
