Every year the Schwarzkopf Foundation finances 20 to 30 travel fellowships for young people (EUR 550).

The Fellowship should enable young people to discover and discuss the different social and political questions in the host country. A final report on the journey and the different experiences should be written afterwards. There is a contest on the best travel reports at the end of every year.


Non-German young people may only get funding for travelling in Germany and should have a certain knowledge of the German language.
