30 Nov 2026
Fully funded scholarship from RAVE Foundation in Germany. Check the deadline and eligibility on the official page before applying.
A scholarship offered by RAVE Foundation in Germany.
The organiser describes this as fully funded. On this site that means tuition and accommodation are recorded as covered; flights are left as not stated until we have confirmed them, because they vary between programmes that use the same phrase. This is aimed at applicants at Master's level.
Before you apply
Open the official page and confirm three things: that the deadline still stands, that you meet the eligibility criteria as they are written there, and what documents you will need. Applications fail more often on a missing document than on a weak candidate.
Every detail here is checked against the organisation's own page, and that page is the authority: deadlines move, eligibility is rewritten, and programmes are withdrawn without announcement. Confirm before you apply.
How to apply
The RAVE scholarship is for cultural heritage professionals, not renewable energy — the name misleads. You must find and agree a German host institution yourself before applying: a museum, gallery, cultural institute or research institute, and it must be non-commercial.
You and the host jointly prepare a project concept note, then you submit the complete application through the ifa online portal.
What you will need
- Agreement from a German host institution
- Joint project concept note
- CV
- Evidence of professional work with collections, archives, museums or exhibitions
Eligibility notes
For professionals working with cultural heritage, collections, archive records, museums or exhibition venues. Placements run three to six months.
Details can change without notice. Confirm everything on the organisation's own page before you apply — see our disclaimer. Spotted something out of date? Tell us.
