The Schwarzkopf Foundation Young Europe believes that European diversity can best be understood by being experienced. Travel scholarships are therefore aimed at enabling young Europeans to discover and explore their continent. During their travels, fellows deal with current political and social issues and become ambassadors of a united Europe.

Who can apply

Young people between 18 and 28 years of age and who are citizens or have their main place of residence in one of the EU countries or in the following countries according to the Interrail policy.

The grant should enable young people to explore Europe and personally document it. The trip needs to address a specific topic or question research.

All sponsored trips should start no earlier than 7 July 2025 and must be completed by 31 October 2025.

The trip can last a maximum one month.

What kind of travel grant is offered?

The travel grant will be awarded in the form of a digital Interrail Global Pass worth €522, valid for travel within 1 month and valid for 33 European countries, including Turkey.

No later than 2 months after the journey, the travel grantee is required to submit a video report of the journey.

The report needs to include an explanation of how the research topic was addressed, the concrete findings and as personal reflections on the experiences.
