About Benedikt und Helene Schmittmann-Wahlen-Stiftung

Benedikt und Helene Schmittmann-Wahlen-Stiftung is a Cologne-based scholarship foundation focused on helping students and doctoral candidates with financial support for study, training, and research. It places special emphasis on students at the University of Cologne and other German universities, especially applicants from the Rhineland, and it also supports study-related experiences abroad that foster intercultural exchange in Europe. The foundation is distinctive for combining academic support with personal development, social engagement, and the preservation of the Schmittmann legacy.

Giving Approach

Primarily scholarship-style support through two program areas: doctoral funding and study-abroad funding. Applications for doctoral support can be submitted at any time, while abroad-related applications must be filed at least two months before the project begins; support is targeted and program-specific rather than broad open grantmaking.

How to approach this funder

For doctoral support, applications are accepted year-round, so eligible candidates should apply as soon as possible. For study-abroad funding, submit materials at least two months before departure and make sure the project is study-related and located in a European country; applicants from German universities, especially those connected to Cologne or the Rhineland, appear to be a strong fit.
