The SBW Berlin scholarship programme supports social commitment through the development of social projects during the scholarship recipients’ studies and includes various types of scholarships. The scholarships are only granted for a limited period, usually for the upcoming semester.
Social Project
Scholarship recipients get involved socially with the start of their studies.
- For the SBW Berlin scholarship for foreign students: Ideally, these projects are part of the non-profit work of organisations located in the home countries of the foreign scholarship recipients and/or contribute to improving living conditions there.
- For the SBW Berlin scholarship for refugees: Ideally, these projects are part of the non-profit work of organisations that help other refugees from their home countries. The social project can also be part of SBW Berlin’s work.
- For the SBW Berlin scholarship for courses in the social field: The projects can either be part of the non-profit work of other organisations or are located at SBW Berlin as their own project. In general, however, they are intended to contribute to improving living conditions around the world.
