HORIZONT-Stiftung supports promising early-career talent in Germany’s communications, media, advertising, and digital content sectors, with a clear emphasis on marketing, media, creative work, and new media. It primarily backs students, young professionals, and junior researchers through scholarships and awards that help pay for tuition, specialized training, internships, overseas stays, and research or project work. The foundation appears to favor practical, career-building support for individuals rather than institutional grants, with an interest in both academic excellence and industry relevance.
Small, targeted scholarship and prize awards for individuals; generally annual and application-based with a fixed deadline (typically October 31), funding partial costs such as tuition, training, internships, travel, or research stays.
