Scholarship for particularly gifted people
The scholarship for the particularly gifted is a scholarship paid to students by the Free State of Bavaria .
history
In 1948 , Alois Hundhammer, then Bavarian Minister of Education, introduced a scholarship to enable particularly talented and needy Bavarian high school graduates to study. This is why the scholarship was sometimes referred to as the Hundhammer scholarship in the past.
Legal basis
As of 1966, the Bavarian Talent Promotion Act (BayBFG) granted students who met the admission requirements a legal claim to a scholarship. From 1984 onwards, the parents' income was not credited, so that until 2005, regardless of the financial situation of the parents, the scholarship recipients were funded with 486 € per month (for students not living with their parents). In 2005, the scholarship under the Bavarian Talent Promotion Act was abolished, so that a new admission was no longer possible for students from the 2005 Abitur class. The scholarship holders accepted up to that point were given the choice of either switching to the new scholarship in accordance with the Bavarian Elite Promotion Act or staying with the old scholarship, although the amount of the scholarship was then based on the parents' income.
In 2005, a modified scholarship law, the Bavarian Elite Promotion Act (BayEFG), was introduced, which enabled high school graduates from the year 2005 to be admitted to the Max Weber program in Bavaria. Every scholarship holder receives an education lump sum of € 1,290 per semester (as of August 31, 2017).
