[color=#42a6c6][size=3]Objective of the Scholarship:[/size][/color] [color=#000000][size=2]The SBW Berlin Scholarship supports young people from abroad who come from financially disadvantaged family backgrounds and use the skills they acquired during their studies in Germany to boost long-term non-profit projects, preferably in their home countries. They award our scholarships for bachelor’s and master's programs at a university or special university of applied sciences in Berlin and Potsdam based on the student's academic qualifications, personal aptitude, and social needs. In general, all scientific and artistic disciplines can be funded.[/size][/color] [color=#42a6c6][size=3]Application requirements:[/size][/color] [color=#000000][size=2]Applicants must meet the following requirements:[/size][/color] [ul] [li][color=#000000][size=2]between 18 and 30 years old[/size][/color][/li] [li][color=#000000][size=2]professional or volunteer experience in the non-profit sector[/size][/color][/li] [li][color=#000000][size=2]strong intention to work in their country of origin for at least 18 months after graduation3[/size][/color][/li] [li][color=#000000][size=2]able to prove a relatively low net income[/size][/color][/li] [li][color=#000000][size=2]no first-degree family members who reside permanently in Germany[/size][/color][/li] [li][color=#000000][size=2]able to prove that they have not stayed in Germany for more than 18 months before the application[/size][/color][/li] [/ul] [ul] [li][color=#000000][size=2]average grades corresponding to a German grade point average of at least 2.0[/size][/color][/li] [li][color=#000000][size=2]application before the start of their university education or fully enrolled in the first, second or max. third semester at a state-recognized university (in Germany or abroad)[/size][/color][/li] [li][color=#000000][size=2]application for a master’s degree shortly before or after obtaining a bachelor’s degree[/size][/color][/li] [/ul] [color=#000000][size=2] [/size][/color][color=#42a6c6][size=3]Required Documents:[/size][/color] [ul] [li][color=#000000][size=2]application form (fillable PDF or online form) [/size][/color][/li] [li][color=#000000][size=2]letter of motivation (one or two pages long)[/size][/color][/li] [li][color=#000000][size=2]current curriculum vitae[/size][/color][/li] [li][color=#000000][size=2]information about the net household income[/size][/color][/li] [/ul]
