Study Scholarships for Medical Students (Edith Stein Foundation)

The Edith Stein Foundation supports students and prospective students of human medicine with nationwide open study scholarships. The goal is to ensure the long-term provision of high-quality medical care, especially in rural regions and areas with a particular need for physicians. The program offers monthly financial support, accompanied by the placement of suitable practical assignments with regional hospital providers and the development of a sustainable network. Participants benefit from dedicated contacts who assist with organizational and professional questions throughout the entire course of study. Applications are accepted at any time and are evaluated based on the motivation to assume medical responsibility, interest in rural primary and emergency care, and proof of at least one year of training in a medical profession.

The funding is aimed at all students or prospective students of human medicine who, in addition to enrollment or application for study, can demonstrate completed practical training in healthcare of at least one year. A CV and a letter of motivation are required for the application. Decision criteria particularly include the willingness to take responsibility in medical care and the focus on future professional practice in structurally weak or rural areas. The Edith Stein Foundation sees itself as a reliable partner for emerging talents in medicine, promotes professional exchange among scholarship holders, and contributes to sustainably meeting the future demand for medical professionals nationwide.
