Academic Solidarity e.V., committed to fostering education and supporting academics and students under risk, has announced the initiation of a comprehensive scholarship program aimed at assisting undergraduate and graduate students who have faced persecution or disadvantage due to their or their parents’ circumstances.
The scholarship program is designed to provide financial aid to eligible students studying in the EU, UK, Norway, and Switzerland. It covers tuition fees, housing, and other compulsory needs to ensure the continuation of their education. Priority will be given to students who have experienced discrimination or are children of academics who have been politically, religiously, or socially discriminated against in their home countries.
Candidates eligible for this scholarship include those accepted into universities or research institutions within specified European countries, demonstrating good academic achievements, and having a history of participating in social responsibility projects or voluntary activities.
The application process requires candidates to submit a comprehensive package including a CV, academic transcripts, acceptance certificates from educational institutions, and letters of reference, among other documents. These applications are assessed on a variety of criteria, including academic merit, personal motivation, and the severity of the circumstances the applicant has overcome.
The program not only aims to provide financial support but also assigns a “Scholarship Counselor” to each recipient to aid in their academic journey and ensure they meet continued success criteria. At the end of their study period, scholarship recipients are expected to submit a report detailing their academic and project progress. This initiative by Academic Solidarity e.V. emphasizes the importance of academic support systems in promoting equitable access to education and supporting those who strive to overcome significant barriers to their academic and personal development.
