Programa de Bolsas Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) 2023

Deadline: Not specified

Registration is now open for the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) Scholarship Programme 2023Promoting young talent has been one of the founding principles of FES. At the time Friedrich Ebert was elected the first president of the Weimar Republic, it was almost impossible for gifted children from socially disadvantaged backgrounds to study at universities or participate in research programs.

With the founding of the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung in 1925, the first scholarships were awarded to particularly talented young people from the working class who were actively participating in the fledgling democracy of the Weimar Republic. Addressing social disadvantages by supporting students who are actively working for freedom, justice, and social cohesion in their commitment to social democracy, or who will do so in the future, remains one of the FES's objectives.
