Scholarships of the Klaus Höchstetter Foundation

The Klaus Höchstetter Foundation offers nationwide scholarships that provide talented young individuals with comprehensive support in education, training, further education, and science. By fully covering tuition fees, study fees, and teaching materials, the foundation also supports stays abroad and financial needs for specialized and academic work as well as independent research projects. As a permanent funding opportunity, the program is aimed at pupils, students, and early-career researchers who distinguish themselves through outstanding achievements and project ideas. Emphasis is placed on academic excellence, the quality of the submitted projects, as well as the motivation and specific funding needs of the applicants.

To apply, proof of special talent or achievement as well as a valid school or university place is required. An informal application initially leads to an informational interview, after which application forms, proof of talent, and a detailed project description are submitted. The decision is based on established evaluation criteria, with the entire financial requirement being covered. Since applications are accepted on an ongoing basis, interested parties can have their funding considered at any time, as long as funds are available. The Klaus Höchstetter Foundation aims to support young talents on their educational path and to enable them to gain intercultural experiences in order to sustainably broaden their personal and scientific horizons.
