Bread for the World Scholarhip

Supports students at risk

Bread for the World awards scholarships to women who seek protection in Germany because they are persecuted or threatened in their country of origin for political, religious or ethnic reasons. Fleeing often means an involuntary interruption of studies and a concomitant deterioration of future prospects. This scholarship is intended to give refugee women in particular the opportunity to continue or take up their studies in Germany.
