International Scholarship Programme for Students from Tunisia and Egypt
The International Scholarship Programme for Tunisian and Egyptian Students wants to give future leaders from Tunisia and Egypt the opportunity to get to know the German academic system and to actively engage themselves with the working areas of the Heinrich Böll Foundation (e.g. democracy and human rights, ecology/climate policy, international cooperation, gender, education policy...). Within the framework of our seminar programme, scholarship holders have an opportunity to network with other students from Germany and all over the world as well as with experts from the Foundation.
Application deadline: 1 March 2012
Start of the scholarship: from 1 Octobre 2012 on or later – depending on receipt of the application (but not before the beginning of the study programme in Germany)
