It aims to foster deeper Anglo-German understanding within a European context and prefers candidates working on topics with a German–British connection. Up to three scholarships are awarded annually, each providing a monthly allowance for a duration of up to two years.

Monthly stipend of €1,250 for up to two years; selection includes interview and support from an independent selection committee.

Students of the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge of any nationality who wish to study or research at a university in Germany; applicants who have previously spent long periods studying in Germany are normally excluded. Candidates should be working on topics with a German–British relevance.

Applications are handled annually through the University of Oxford selection process; an independent selection committee reviews written materials and conducts personal interviews.
