A Bayer scholarship enabled chemistry student Jörg Klein to study at the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic in Prague.

Key support areas include study projects, internships, summer courses, preparatory and supplementary study courses and theses. Assistance is also available for projects aimed at improving the training of science teachers.

The foundation places great emphasis on internationalism, and therefore grants scholarships exclusively to students from German-speaking countries wishing to study abroad and foreign applicants who want to study in Germany.

Applicants should be able to show good to very good final school marks as well as a particularly good intermediate diploma. Furthermore, a broad horizon and a high level of motivation and personal commitment are expected of all applicants – be it in a social, political or cultural field.

The application period 2010 for the scholarships for university students and young people with a non-academic background has ended. The next call for applications in 2011.
