Support for Students from Ukraine, Russia and Belarus

12.09.2022

The Baden-Württemberg-STIPENDIUM is a program of the Baden-Württemberg Foundation to promote the international exchange of qualified German and foreign students (outgoing and incoming).

Due to the war in Ukraine, the Baden-Württemberg Stiftung has made additional scholarship funds available for the summer semester of 2022 to provide emergency aid for affected students. Thanks to the Merz Akademie’s participation in the Baden-Württemberg-STIPENDIUM, the emergency aid program is therefore also aimed at Merz Akademie students from Ukraine, Russia, or Belarus who are experiencing financial difficulties due to the current situation.

Details of the emergency program can be found in the PDF for download.
