The Hertie School of Governance together with the Auswärtiges Amt (German Foreign Office) offer the so-called EMPM CommIO Scholarship. It is directed at German officials working in international organisations or European institutions and who are registered with CommIO.
The scholarship consists of a full tuition waiver (i.e. EUR 25,000). The funds will be granted with a view to the quality of the application, his/her contribution to the diversity of the student body as well as the financial need of the applicant.
Applications for the EMPM CommIO Scholarship are possible once the application to the EMPM programme has been submitted via the EMPM online-application form (both, the application to the EMPM programme as well as to the scholarship are due by 15 March 2012).
After this deadline, candidates can still apply to the EMPM programme until 15 May 2012, but not for a scholarship.
Applicants will receive a login and password to another website, where they can track the status of their application to the programme, and where they can now also apply for a scholarship. Scholarship applicants are asked to refer to the scholarship application in their letter of motivation and to fill in and upload a financial statement form of the Hertie School of Governance before 15 March 2012.
