Scholarship

Scholarships from the Cusanuswerk consist of financial support for studies as well as an interdisciplinary education programme that encourages discussion about science and faith, society and church.

Financial support consists of a monthly grant and a monthly amount of money for books and/or a lump sum for research costs. Family and child care allowances may also be added. In addition, the Cusanuswerk supports international study visits, internships and language courses.

A large number of educational events and a range of discussion forums that cross the boundaries of one’s own topics define non-material support. Confrontation with current subjects, encounters with people from different backgrounds and the question of an essential orientation are just as much in focus as the discussion about Christian faith.

Within the framework of a career support programme, the Cusanuswerk provides young women sustained support in their further professional and personal development. The project “Talente sichern – Zukunft gestalten” (Supporting Talent – Forming the Future) is supported by the German State Department for Education and Research and is open to all female scholarship recipients and alumni of all German scholarship funds.
