Application for a Carl Duisberg scholarship is open to students specializing in human medicine und veterinary medicine undergoing a clinical traineeship or in their practice year who would like to take part in scientific projects or continue their education at a prominent institution.

What can receive support?

Projects abroad by applicants from German-speaking countries and projects in Germany by foreign applicants, such as internships, training courses, clinical work experience periods, semesters abroad, research projects, bachelor’s, master’s or doctoral thesis projects. Regular support for studies in applicants’ home countries is not offered.

Scholarship

Support is generally intended to cover the cost of living, travel costs and incurred project costs. Each applicant can request a specific amount of support by submitting a “cost plan”, and the Board of Trustees then comes to a decision based on this request.

The scholarship is paid out in installments according to an individually agreed payment plan. The “project costs” consist of study fees, lab materials, books, seminars, language courses and lectures.

Eligibility

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 successful pre-clinical test. 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.
