Description

The Rosa Luxemburg Foundation is offering fully funded scholarships for PhD students. This opportunity is for those ready to make an impact through their research in Germany. It’s more than just funding—it’s a commitment to academic excellence and social change. You’ll receive full financial support throughout your doctoral studies. Engage with a vibrant, progressive research community. 

Grow your academic vision with mentorship and resources that truly matter. Apply now and turn your research dream into reality with confidence.

Who Can Apply?

International and German students who have secured admission to a recognized German university are eligible. Applicants must demonstrate a strong academic record and research interests that align with themes such as social justice, democracy, or sustainability. Proficiency in German at a B2 level or higher is essential, as active engagement in local contexts is highly valued. The scholarship seeks passionate individuals who are actively involved in social or political causes. Whether you're an activist, advocate, or critical thinker, your commitment matters. This opportunity is designed for those ready to make a meaningful impact.

What’s Covered?

• €1,350/month stipend (so you can focus on research, not rent)
• €100/month research allowance (books, conferences, or that extra coffee fuel)
• Extra support for health insurance, childcare & mobility (because life happens!)
• Tuition-free PhD (German public universities charge no tuition fees!)
  

How to Apply?

• Prepare your documents: Research proposal (5-10 pages), CV, admission letter, proof of German skills, and two academic references.
• Show your activism: Highlight your social/political engagement—this scholarship values real-world impact as much as academic excellence.
• Submit online before October 1, 2025 (for the 2026 intake).
  
  
  

Why This Scholarship?

The Rosa Luxemburg Foundation doesn’t just fund PhD's—it builds a community of progressive scholars working for a fairer world. If your research tackles inequality, climate justice, or democratic change, this is your opportunity to grow with mentorship, networking, and financial backing.
