Social Sciences Achievement Scholarship

About the Scholarship

The GDD Social Sciences Achievement Scholarship is run by the Youth Diplomacy Association to support successful undergraduate students studying in the social sciences.

The scholarship is paid for nine months in total: November, December, January, February, March, April, May, June and July.

Applications are not assessed on the university entrance ranking or grade point average alone. Candidates’ CVs and personal development, social responsibility and volunteering, foreign language achievements, achievements in the arts and sports, experience in leadership, representation and organisation, and national and international achievements are all taken into account in a holistic assessment.
