IzS Funding Scholarship for Young Girls

IzS Scholarship for Young Girls is an award granted by the Ingrid-zu-Solms Foundation, annually recognizing an outstanding female student of the boarding school Schloss Hansenberg in Geisenheim-Johannisberg. The scholarship targets talented, high-achieving, and socially committed participants with pronounced elite potential. It fully covers boarding and meal costs on the path to the Abitur and provides the scholars with active and creative access to cultural assets. The call for applications is made through the school administration, and the selection is made by a youth advisory board, which submits the ranking for the final decision to the foundation’s board. The ceremonial award presentation traditionally takes place during the school's Christmas celebration.

Applications must include proof of school enrollment and an essay outlining talent and social engagement. Evaluation criteria include academic performance, extracurricular commitment, and the quality of the submitted written work. The funding aims to empower young women and support their educational and developmental opportunities in the long term. With this scholarship, the Ingrid-zu-Solms Foundation seeks to achieve sustainable impact and promote the next generation of female talent in education, culture, and science. The funding offers a valuable opportunity to develop existing potential and actively contribute to cultural diversity.
