Schwarzkopf Foundation Travel Grants 2017

You want to travel through Europe to meet new people and understand them better? You are between 18 and 27 years old and are looking for a way to fund your journey? Then you can apply for a Schwarzkopf Foundation travel grant until the 15th of June!

By awarding travel grants, the Schwarzkopf Foundation aims to get youngsters and young adults interested in Europe. Your journey should be motivated by wanting to explore Europe and the will to personally document your travel experience. The application deadline is June 15, 2017 at 11:59 pm CEST. Everyone between the ages of 18 and 27 permanently residing in one of the 28 EU member states can apply for a travel grant. We encourage young people from all backgrounds to apply!

The journey should last between three and six weeks. For those enrolled in an internship or traineeship programme, we offer, if needed, to shorten the travel period to two weeks.

The journey should take place in 2017 and shouldn’t start later than September. You are free to choose your own travel destination(s) but also have to book the necessary accommodations and plan the whole journey by yourself. It’s important that you are willing to produce a travel report on a question which is relevant on a European level. You should do your research on one of the following questions:

• Education and vocational training in Europe – what can we learn from each other, how can we benefit of each other?
• Digitalisation of education, economy and working life in Europe
• How important are mobility and open borders for me in Europe?

The report can be submitted as a photo report with background information, a video diary, a blog series, or a written report.

Travel Grant

You decide how you will spend the 550 € on your journey. You will receive 400 € at the beginning of your journey, and the other 150 € after submitting your travel report. The grant holders can decide freely which part of the travel costs will be covered by the grant.
