Diesterweg Scholarship

The Diesterweg Scholarship of the City of Trier offers, as an innovative educational scholarship, support for the entire family for the first time during the transition from primary to secondary schools. Within the framework of municipal educational management, primary school students from Rhineland-Palatinate and their families are continuously accompanied through a diverse range of events and support programs. The goal is to individually strengthen each learning path, discover talents, and enable sustainable orientation within the school system. The program places special emphasis on equal opportunities and participation by having parents and children jointly participate in workshops, study groups, and coaching sessions, thereby developing competencies early on for a successful school career.

Private individuals from the region can submit applications continuously, as there are no fixed deadlines. The award is given in the form of a prize that grants access to special support modules: language promotion, mentoring, cultural excursions, and exchange formats create networking opportunities with experts and like-minded peers. The flexible support adapts to the needs of the scholarship holders and their families and extends throughout the entire first year of secondary school. Thus, the Diesterweg Scholarship contributes to sustainable educational development in Trier and the surrounding area and promotes motivation for lifelong learning. Interested parties can obtain information about the program at any time and apply for participation in the Diesterweg Scholarship.
