SBW Berlin gemeinnützige GmbH

Description

„Our vision is a world in which all people have the opportunity to develop their potential freely – regardless of their background.“

Therefore we award scholarships to refugees and foreign students from East Europe, Asia, Africa and South America who are socially committed and come from financially disadvantaged family backgrounds.

Our goal is to support students who want to study in Berlin to help improve the living conditions in their home country or (in the case of refugees) of other migrants.

SBW Berlin owns a house in south east Berlin, where our office, a big conference room and the shared student apartments are located.

We offer two types of scholarships:

1. Students with a grade point average that is equivalent to the German Ø of 1,5 to 2,0

This scholarship is awarded to students who want to develop and implement their own charitable project during and after their studies. Hence a detailed project description will be an integral part of the last phase of the application process. For the application itself a delineation of the project idea in the motivation letter is sufficient.

1. Students with a grade point average that is equivalent to the German Ø of 1 to 1,4

These scholarship holders do not need to create their own charitable project. Four hours of voluntary work per week is sufficient.
