Selection process

The awarding committee for scholarships of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar will select the scholarship recipients in February 2020. The projects are evaluated regarding to their feasibility and prospects of success, their significance and, if necessary, their interdisciplinary or international orientation. Furthermore, social aspects can be taken into account for the award decision if they are equally suitable.

Selections from the second round of applications will be made by July.

Attempts to deceive by applicants will lead to immediate exclusion from the application process. A further application is not possible in this case.
Decisions of the committee will not be justified towards the applicants due to the absolute confidentiality of the selection procedure.
