What does the funding involve?
The Claussen-Simon Foundation supports grant recipients with a monthly financial grant so that they can concentrate on their studies. This support is complemented by the B-First curriculum, which includes workshops, seminars and individual coaching for personal development. In addition, grant recipients gain access to further events and support programmes offered by the Foundation, as well as the opportunity to network with other grant recipients and alumni.
