Scholarships available at the University
The University of Graz offers a variety of internal scholarships for which you can apply.
You can find a list here.
Objectives: Strengthening research - networking - promoting junior researchers
Further information can be found on the website of the Fellowship Programme.
Funding grants are used to support unfinished academic work (in particular diploma or master's theses and dissertations) that involve special costs: e.g. a stay abroad, extensive literature searches, empirical studies).
A one-off grant amounts to between € 750 and € 3,600 for an unfinished academic thesis. Of course, different costs can also be applied for. However, these costs must be stated in one application; multiple applications for a thesis are not possible. However, it is of course possible to apply for one scholarship for the Master's thesis and one for the dissertation. The award is made by the Dean of Studies or Vice Dean of Studies.
