Scholarships

Scholarships sponsored by ESRA

Anyone who participates in a  one-week course at the GESIS Summer School 2024 and is eligible for the student rate may apply for one of four available scholarships funded by the European Survey Research Association (ESRA). Participants registered only for a short course are not eligible to apply. The scholarship works as a fee waiver and is worth EUR 550.

Scholarships will be transferred to the participant’s bank account upon successful participation in the Summer School (i.e., attendance of at least 80% of the course) after the Summer School has finished. No money will be transferred when the participant misses more than 20% of the course.

Applications will be evaluated based on academic and social criteria. Preference is 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 brief cover letter in which you explain
    • why it is important to you and your work to participate in the GESIS Summer School in Survey Methodology in general and in the chosen course in particular; and
    • your need for a scholarship.
  • A brief 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 26 April 2024. Applicants will be informed by the end of May if their application was successful.

Before applying for one of the scholarships, please register at training.gesis.org to secure a place. Registration will only become binding once GESIS has received the participation fee. Please note that you will not receive the ESRA scholarship without having paid the 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 terms and conditions).

All questions may be sent to summerschool(at)gesis(dot)org.
