Starter Scholarships

The Starter Scholarship is awarded for a one-year period. During that time, recipients are expected to develop an excellent research proposal and to apply for further funding on this basis, e.g. for scholarships from the many German sponsorship organisations. The Starter Scholarship amounts to 1.668 EUR per month. Scholarship holders will receive support throughout their Starter Scholarship in identifying further funding opportunities. This support will be in form of workshops, mentoring, advisory services and access to a rich research community.

In addition, scholarship holders are provided with office space, necessary equipment and funds for conference travel. Once they have secure further funding for the next 2-3 years, candidates will remain doctoral members of the Bamberg Graduate School of Social Sciences and will continue to work in Bamberg under the supervision of their initial professors.
