Experience Europe and the World - Show Social Commitment
Feline Holidays Global Engagement Scholarship is awarded by Feline Holidays A/S as a partial scholarship. Europe is our business – to support cosmopolitan and committed people, we have launched the Feline Holidays Global Engagement Scholarship. We would like to recognize intercultural cooperation, interest in encountering other nations and cultures, as well as extraordinary social commitment.
Funding Priorities
Support for Studies Abroad and social Commitment
Encountering people from other nations and cultures is of great importance to Feline Holidays A/S and our support for stays abroad – semesters, internships, and other study-related projects abroad. This is one of two main priorities for the selection of candidates.
Feline Holidays A/S also promotes social commitment by people who perform charitable activities to the benefit of society. Social Commitment – when applicants are involved in social activities outside of their studies or training, or do voluntary work – is the second funding priority and shall be rewarded with the Feline Holidays Global Engagement Scholarship.
Type of Funding
Once a year we will grant ten scholarships each worth 1.000 Euros.
Requirements
Stays Abroad
We presuppose that the applicants are enrolled at a university, a university of applied sciences or a similar educational institution in Germany at the time of the application and the planned stay abroad. Applicants from all subjects are welcome. The duration of the stay abroad should be at least three months.
Funding is only possible if the departure takes place within the application period for the respective calendar year, starting from January 1 up to and including March 31 of the following year. Scholarships cannot be awarded retroactively.
Social Engagement/Volunteering
We presuppose that the applicants are enrolled at a university, a university of applied sciences or a similar educational institution in Germany at the time of the application and their voluntary work. Applicants from all subjects are welcome.
We are currently unable to support Bachelor’s or Master’s degree programs that are completed entirely abroad as well as international degree programs that are carried out at different locations. We have also closed applications for scholarships to Russia and have canceled funding selection for both Russia and Belarus.
