Since 1983 the Foundation, created by the British Chamber of Commerce in Germany, offers scholarships to British and German students who plan to study in the other’s country. It is managed independent of BCCG.

As an example, through generous donations by business and many individuals, the Foundation was able to assist five students in 2008 in reaching their goal of attaining academic know-how and general life experience in the other country.

The particular, long lasting contribution by British Airways also calls for special mention in their providing award winners with free flights to enable an easier take-off in life.

Through this exchange of talented, ambitious, young students, the Foundation makes a significant contribution for the British Chamber of Commerce in Germany, which sets out to intensify the already very intensive business and cultural activities between the United Kingdom and Germany.

Students’ reports written on completion of their stay abroad, repeatedly emphasize that in addition to the valuable academic know-how acquired, new friendships and social contacts play an extremely important role in what at first seems a very foreign environment.

Here are some reports from students 2009:

Richard Dargie - Short Report

Lowri Preston - Short Report

Alison Steele - Living and Studying in Bamberg

Anna Tschiltschke - Short Report

Moritz von Brescius - Short Report

Elisabeth Zschorlich - Studying in the UK
