Scholarships and Cultural Activities The Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung awards
scholarships to students and graduates of exceptional academic achievement and
outstanding political or social commitment. German scholars are expected to endorse
Christian Democratic social and political values. Currently we provide financial
support for about 1,800 students. An extensive seminar programme is part of the
numerous activities offered to our scholars.
The scholarships are open to young German students, journalists and graduate
students as well as to young graduate students from abroad who study in Germany.
More than 9.000 alumni worldwide are keeping in touch with each other and with the
Konrad Adenauer Foundation. They are organized in 50 local groups in Germany and
abroad, including Brussels, London, Strasbourg and Switzerland. Foreign alumni have
formed groups in several countries.
We also support writers, artists and musicians. In cooperation with them, we offer
a wide range of exhibitions, readings, symposiums, and workshops. A highly
appreciated literary prize is awarded annually to modern authors.
