Citi Foundation at the European Business School

The Citi Foundation Scholarship Fund at the European Business School is presented by EBS Alumni and aimed at the advancement and support of socially disadvantaged, gifted potential students. The Citi Foundation’s funding will be used to alleviate the financial burden stemming from tuition fees. The scholarships will cover 50% of Bachelors or Masters tuition fees for one year.

The scholarship program targets young people from disadvantaged low-income families who usually have only limited access to education and training or minorities who often experience discrimination. We therefore intend to improve their chances via this advancement program and see this as a contribution to integration, as well as a valuable support of EBS’ scholarly aims to promote intercultural competence in its educational concept.

The Citi Foundation’s funding will be used to alleviate the financial burden stemming from tuition fees. The scholarships will cover 50% of Bachelors or Masters tuition fees for one year. All prospective and current students who fit the target group are invited to apply, the scholarships will be awarded based on academic excellence, need and an interview.

Important Information about the Application Procedure

Pelajar Yang Berhak Mendapatkan Beasiswa Who may apply ?
Your application will be considered if some or all of the following points apply to you:

1. You come from a low-income family.
2. You are a member of a minority.
3. You have a migrant background.

We also strive for a balanced number of low income students as well as an increase in the number female students and wish to create an elite of responsibility in Germany.

Langkah Untuk Apply Scholarship What do I have to hand in?
Please apply with all documents listed in the PDF download here.

Important information concerning eXebs fellows who already receive financial support through the eXebs Bildungsfonds: You don’t have to hand in all the financial documents, you just have to hand in a signed explanation that your financial situation has remained the same.

Important information concerning students who plan to apply for the eXebs Bildungsfonds: The documents you have to hand in for the Citi Scholarship are the same you have to hand in when applying for the eXebs Bildungsfonds. So it probably would make sense to apply for both scholarships at the same time.
