Scholarships are available for students and recent graduates up to 30 years of age. We welcome applications from all countries and
academic disciplines. Our main objective is to ensure the participation of many young people in the entire event.
The combination of academic seminars followed by symposiums and short courses on specific topics reflects the special character of the
European Forum Alpbach.
Please take into account that there are different scholarships programmes for the Alpbach Summer Schools on European
Integration and on Health Care and Social System, and that you can apply only either for the European Forum Alpbach or for
one of the Summer Schools.
Deadline for scholarship application: April 16, 2010 (postmark)
Scholarship Value
Usually the scholarship covers tuition fees only. For applicants from Central, East and Southeast Europe, a contribution to the
accommodation expenses and, as an exception, per-diems may also be included.
Travel costs have to be borne by the participants.
