About You

We would like to learn more about you and your motivation for a travel grant.

(This question is mandatory)

Do you meet all the requirements for a scholarship?

Note: Applications from young people who have previously taken part in a few international exchange formats and/or from young people with a history of migration or flight, from rural areas, from vocational schools and with a secondary school diploma are expressly welcome and will be given special consideration.

o I understand that the scholarship is linked to working on the topic of the call for applications.

o I know that grants are only awarded for independently planned and executed project trips. (Participation in conferences or events or the co-financing of stays abroad (e.g. as part of studies) are not part of the scholarship).

o I understand that I can only get a scholarship if I travel alone (or with my own child) (see regulations for children https://www.bahn.de/angebote/international/interrail)

o I know that the trip with the scholarship should last at least three weeks. (Scholar recipients who are doing an apprenticeship, who are enrolled in vocational school or have care responsibility can shorten their trip to two weeks.)

o I have read the terms and conditions and I know that if I don't comply, I will have to repay the grant. Exceptions are possible
