Global Scholarship Programme
Initiated by Hermann Gmeiner Fonds Deutschland e.V. (HGFD), this comprehensive programme empowers and supports young individuals who have benefitted from services offered by SOS Children’s Villages. The program focuses on awarding scholarships to young individuals during their last stage of education based on specific selection criteria, emphasizing academic achievements, motivation, social responsibility, and leadership qualities. Currently supporting 200 students aged 18 to 34 years old at the start of their studies, the programme strives to foster economic independence and academic success, and also focuses on equipping the young individuals with the required financial and psychosocial resources that are essential for them to succeed in their studies.
