Scholarship Description
Since 2001 the Baden-Württemberg Stiftung (BW Stiftung) has supported the international exchange of students and young vocationally qualified people by awarding the Baden-Württemberg-STIPENDIUM for students, and also for workers respectively.
The Baden-Württemberg-STIPENDIUM for Vocationally Qualified People offers exciting insights into the manner of working, business structures and management concepts of related industries in the Southwest of Germany. It is aimed at young vocationally qualified people who have completed non-academic professional training for which they received an outstanding grade.
Based on the principle of reciprocity, the Baden-Württemberg-STIPENDIUM for Vocationally Qualified People is designed to enable applicants from Baden-Württemberg and other countries to undertake a placement abroad in the form of work experience or further training. Not only the young vocationally qualified people profit from these experiences abroad and the newly acquired skills, but also the firms in the scholarship holders' own countries. See Baden-Württemberg-STIPENDIUM for University Students.

The principles of reciprocity and exchange are at the core of the Baden-Württemberg-STIPENDIUM and make it a unique programme in Germany because for every scholarship holder from Baden-Württemberg, a scholarship holder from abroad comes to the south-west of Germany. You are all part of a living network because the award of the scholarship is the start of an active relationship of the Baden-Württemberg Stiftung with its alumni, a whole life long, if you so wish.
The Baden-Württemberg Stiftung advocates a vital Baden-Württemberg with a high quality of life. It helps pave the way for top-class research, many kinds of educational measures and responsible dealings with our fellow man. The Baden-Württemberg Stiftung is one of the major foundations in Germany. It is the only one which invests exclusively and without partisanship in the future of Baden-Württemberg, and thus the future of its citizens.
