The Heinrich Böll Foundation grants scholarships to
approximately 1,000 undergraduates, graduates, and doctoral students of all
subjects and nationalities per year, who are pursuing their degree at
universities, universities of applied sciences (‘Fachhochschulen’), or
universities of the arts (‘Kunsthochschulen’).

academic records, to be socially and politically engaged, and to have an active
interest in the basic values of the foundation: ecology and sustainability,
democracy and human rights, self determination and justice.
