Regional scholarship for university students
(Regional development policy components/REK)

Regionale Entwicklungs­politische Komponente (REK)

The BW scholarship is available to fund study abroad by university students from African, Caribbean, and Pacific countries (called ACP states) and Least Developed Countries (LDC).

The Regionale Entwicklungspolitische Komponente (Regional development policy components/REK) are designed for this purpose. As with the regular BW scholarship, international students can come to Germany under this project line, while university students from Baden-Württemberg can study in ACP/LDC countries.

However, the process for the REK is less bureaucratic:

• International university students do not have to come from a Baden-Württemberg scholarship partner university.
• International university students who want to spend time abroad in Baden-Württemberg can apply for the programme even if their university doesn't have a partner university in Baden-Württemberg.
• In addition, the minimum scholarship duration is shorter.
