Summer School - Scholarships
Scholarships sponsored by ESRA
If you are participating in a one-week course at the GESIS Summer School 2025 and qualify for the student rate, you may apply for one of four available scholarships funded by the European Survey Research Association (ESRA). The scholarship covers the full course fee (EUR 550). Please note that you are not eligible to apply if you are registered for one of our short two-to-three-day courses.
Scholarships will be transferred to your bank account after the Summer School, provided you successfully complete the course with at least 80% attendance. No money will be transferred if you miss more than 20% of the course.
Applications will be evaluated based on academic and social criteria. Preference will be given to candidates from European countries in which it is more challenging to get funding for summer schools (e.g., countries in Eastern and Southern Europe).
To apply, please submit the following documents as one PDF file via our online application form below:
- A one-page cover letter explaining:
- Why it is important for you and your research or work to participate in the GESIS Summer School in Survey Methodology in general and in the chosen course in particular; and
- Why you require financial support through the scholarship.
- A one-to-two-page up-to-date CV including a list of publications (if applicable).
Both documents must be submitted via our online application form below as one PDF file by 18 May 2025 (German time). You will be informed by the end of May whether your application was successful or not.
Before applying for one of the scholarships, you must register at Summer School: Survey Methodology Training - GESIS Training for your chosen course and pay the course fee. Registration will only become binding once GESIS has received the participation fee. Please note that your application will not be considered if you have not paid the course fee.
Should you not be granted a scholarship and wish to cancel your participation in the GESIS Summer School, you may send a cancellation request to summerschool(at)gesis(dot)org. You will receive a full refund if you cancel up to 4 weeks before the course starts (see our terms and conditions).
For any questions, please contact us at summerschool(at)gesis(dot)org.
