A scholarship means more than financial support. Counseling by the business center, accompanying support by university lecturers, networking with other scholarship holders, seminars on religion-related topics, summer schools and language courses form the framework for ideal support. In three different areas, we promote professional excellence, addressing our own faith and taking on social responsibility. Our goal is to offer funding tailored to the needs of our scholarship holders. Here, we are also focusing on the ideas and commitment of our scholarship holders. It is therefore desirable that they should contribute and develop their own initiatives.

Students can receive an income-dependent basic scholarship of up to € 735 per month. A student fee of 300 euros per month is paid to all students.In addition to the basic scholarship, we can also provide family supplements in the amount of € 155 per month and a child care allowance of € 130 per month per child. The maximum duration of funding is based on the regular study period.

According to the description of the scholarship program of the Gertrud- und Hellmut Barthel Foundation (see link to the scholarship provided), the aim of the scholarship is to provide equal opportunities, especially for children from non-academic families. Although talent plays a role in the selection, the need is in the foreground, so that the support cannot be classified as talent and performance-dependent.

Students and graduates with their own or family migration experience can apply for a three-month paid internship in federal ministries and subordinate agencies until 4 July.
