German Bundestag: International Parliamentary Scholarships

Programme Description

Up to 120 sponsorships for young graduates from 50 nations are awarded every year by the German Federal Parliament (Deutsche Bundestag).

The President of the Bundestag is the patron of the scholarship, which is awarded by the Bundestag together with three of Berlin's higher-education institutions: the Freie Universität, the Humboldt Universität and the Technische Universität.
