Friedrich-Naumann-Foundation for Freedom

The Friedrich-Naumann-Foundation for Freedom awards study and doctoral scholarships to German and foreign students and doctoral candidates. Application procedures are carried out twice a year. Material and non-material support are of equal importance. Scholarships, a lump sum for study costs and allowances for study abroad ensure the material framework conditions. Participation in educational activities, active commitment to the scholarship holders and the introduction of ideas and contributions to the foundation's work bring the non-material support to life.

PE-Förderungen für Studierende der Musik e.V.

The non-profit association enables music students to have their own instrument at an early stage of their career, which does not have to be returned to a lender after they have completed their studies. PE-Förderungen also provides financial support for CD productions, video recordings and special projects (e.g. a year studying abroad).
In addition, the association supports its scholarship holders with grants for individual measures of musical development (e.g. master classes or participation in competitions).
