You determine your path and goals. We want to be a reliable companion and support you along your journey with our decades of experience.

Holistic support

The Global Scholarship Program supports you throughout your journey of higher education - during your studies at the university of your choice or during your voluntary civic engagement, in line with our organizational policies and guidelines.

You’ve got the ideas, we provide the necessary support! During your studies, we cover your costs for travel, health insurance, accommodation, living expenses, study materials and tuition fees so that you can fully concentrate on your studies. During your civic engagement with the Rise & Help Program, we cover your living costs so you can concentrate on your voluntary civic engagement.  

We know how important it is to have someone by your side – in both your professional and personal life. Challenges are part of life and our coordinators are there to listen and support you.

To prepare for a successful and fulfilled career, we also support you with career guidance by experienced experts.

Who can apply?

We support you during your Bachelor's or Master's degree or during your voluntary civic engagement with the Rise & Help Program. We do not provide scholarships for PhD studies.

For Bachelor’s or Master’s scholarships, the Global Scholarship Program is aimed at young people who have grown up in an SOS Children's Village or have been supported by programs of SOS Children’s Villages such as the Family Strengthening Program.
