Caspar David Friedrich Scholarship 2027 (€1,500/Month, Germany)
Overview
The Caspar David Friedrich Scholarship supports exceptional art graduates in carrying out an original artistic development project in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Germany. It rewards projects that meaningfully advance artistic forms and means of expression. The award is not meant for people starting an art degree, but for graduates ready for independent, high-level creative work. It is given annually by Hochschule Wismar together with the University of Music and Theatre Rostock (hmt Rostock) and the Caspar David Friedrich Institute of the University of Greifswald, subject to state funding availability.
What you get
Scholars receive EUR 1,500 per month for up to one year. A family allowance adds EUR 150 per month for a first child and EUR 100 per month for each additional child. Recipients also have access to institutional workshops, studios and supervision from the partner universities.
Who can apply
Applicants must hold a completed artistic degree, such as a Diploma, Bachelor's, Master's or equivalent, from an art academy or comparable higher education program in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. They must show well above average academic results, creative portfolios and examination marks, and present an original, highly developed project. They also need supervision from a professor at Hochschule Wismar, hmt Rostock or the University of Greifswald.
Requirements
The application consists of a completed form, a detailed project proposal describing the concept, objectives, methods and schedule, an artistic portfolio or work samples, a certified degree certificate and transcripts, a CV listing achievements, exhibitions, performances and awards, and a confirmation letter from the supervising professor.
How to apply
