Bayer Fellowship Program

Support for students

Industry and society depend on young employees with a strong scientific background. That’s why it is particularly important to the Bayer Science & Education Foundation to promote training opportunities for talented young people, particularly in the field of natural science.

The Bayer Fellowship Program enables young people with scientific ambitions to realize individual projects and study plans both within and outside of Germany through the granting of scholarships. Support focuses on Biology, Biochemistry, Biotechnology and Biological process engineering, Chemistry and Chemical engineering, Pharmaceutics, Physics, medical statistics, Medicine as well as on studies for teaching science at schools. Schoolchildren are the second beneficiary of the Bayer Fellowship Program along with university students: we also present scholarships to schoolchildren.

Bayer School Scholarships to support particularly ambitious students

The foundation places great emphasis on internationalism, and therefore scholarships are granted exclusively to students from German-speaking countries wishing to study abroad and foreign applicants wishing to study in Germany. With the establishment of alumni networks, the Bayer Science & Education Foundation ensures the sustainability of its support programs.

The next application period for the Bayer, Carl Duisberg and Kurt Hansen Scholarships is from June 1 to July 15, 2010.
