Scholarship overview
The Max Weber Program’s funding and support extends far beyond a student’s course of study. We support our scholarship holders financially with a Semester Allowance of €1,290 and funding for periods spent studying or working abroad. The emphasis of our programme, however, is on promoting their personal development.
