Do you want to continue your education in Germany? We have good news for you! The Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung Scholarship application period is currently open. We will go into great detail regarding this scholarship program, its advantages, and the step-by-step application procedure in this article.
For international students, the Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung Scholarships 2024–2025 are fully funded. These scholarships are offered for Ph.D. and master’s degrees. The monthly payment from these scholarships will be 1350€. Additionally, 100€ lump sum awards are available to support research expenses and additional health care subsidies.
The Federal Foreign Office (Auswärtiges Amt) is the source of funding for this program.

The Scholarship Department of the Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung provides a broad array of resources to academics, including summer schools and events devoted to political education, seminars held both domestically and abroad, symposia, and educational tours.
Additionally, it plans hands-on training in areas like rhetoric, conflict resolution and other critical skills, time management, and self-management, enhancing academic qualifications, text and writing workshops, and methodologically-specific seminars.
