About the scholarship program m

The Albertus Magnus Theological Scholarship Program is a postgraduate study support for foreign students of theology.

The scholarship program enables theologians, especially priests and religious from Africa, Asia, Oceania, Latin America and Eastern Europe, to study in Germany.
In addition to adequate material support for the scholarship holders, which enables them to concentrate on their study work in Germany, a versatile non-material support with the objective of intellectual and spiritual personality development is an essential component of the scholarship program.

 

The study support is complemented by competent study counselling for the scholarship holders during their studies.
