This fellowship is for apprentices, dual students, or early career professionals without a university degree and less than five years of employment. Applicants must pursue their current apprenticeship or profession in a German-speaking country (Germany, Austria, or Switzerland). They particularly encourage applications from parents with children and people with German as a second language. Applicants are eligible for up to 10,000€ in funding and can undertake fellowships for up to twelve months. The fellowship can be used for internships, research projects, and personal development (including language courses), as well as to support parents undertaking further training in Germany and abroad.
