Description

The Doctor Robert Pfleger Foundation awards the Schumann Scholarship to students at universities in Upper Franconia who are engaged in social and charitable projects. In particular, activities in youth and elderly care are supported to strengthen social cohesion and democratic coexistence. Participants are selected by the foundation board and receive a monthly grant of €150 over a period of twelve months. The funding is aimed at individuals residing and studying in Upper Franconia and recognizes proven social commitment as a central evaluation criterion. A continuous application option also allows for flexible participation in the scholarship program.

The scholarship is financed from the estate of Josef and Gisela Schumann, who waived their inheritance in favor of social causes. With this foundation tradition, the funding initiative contributes to labor and social affairs and supports sustainable projects in accordance with the founders' intentions. Only scholarship benefits are funded, so the financial support flows directly into the personal and academic development of the students. Interested students enrich social coexistence with their commitment to youth and elderly care and also benefit from reliable funding that provides planning security over the course of a year.
