The Friedrich Ebert Foundation offers its fellowships recipients a wide-ranging program of discussions and informative meetings. The aim is to create a situation in which German and foreign fellowship holders can meet and engage in a political and interdisciplinary exchange of views. These occasions are also used to give fellowship holders an opportunity to meet prominent persons in the Federal Republic. The selection of those applicants to whom the fellowships will be awarded is the sole responsibility of the Friedrich Ebert Foundation. In making its selections, the Friedrich Ebert Foundation will avail itself of the services of competent American and German scholars.
All fellowships are to be awarded directly to individual persons.
