About Stiftung Bayerische Elite-Akademie

Stiftung Bayerische Elite-Akademie supports outstanding and socially engaged students at Bavarian universities through a two-year, study-accompanying leadership and scholarship program. Its giving is highly mission-specific: rather than broad philanthropic grants, it invests in the development of future responsible leaders with a strong emphasis on ethics, interdisciplinary thinking, personal development, and innovation. The program is closely tied to Bavaria and appears designed for a selective cohort of high-potential students.

Giving Approach

Selective, program-based support through an annual application cycle; provides scholarship-style funding tied to participation in a two-year leadership training program. Support covers participation costs of about EUR 950 per in-person phase, with scholarships/financing available and fees potentially deferred interest-free.

How to approach this funder

Applications are typically submitted through the online portal, which opens around October 1 each year, with a deadline in early to mid-December. Eligibility appears limited to outstanding, socially engaged students enrolled at Bavarian universities, so applicants should emphasize leadership potential, civic engagement, and interdisciplinary interests.
