Profile sought
All students, regardless of their nationalities and field of study, enrolled in a university, can apply to receive the Idealo scholarship.

- Mastery of calculations: If you are a true whiz with numbers, capable of solving complex calculations faster than the fastest calculators, you stand out for your expertise and potential, which align with the Idealo scholarship’s selection criteria.
- Entrepreneurial spirit: If you have had brilliant ideas and started your first startup during your teenage years, the Idealo scholarship program is interested in your entrepreneurial spirit and innovative capabilities.
- Environmental commitment: If you are convinced that we can contribute to making the world more sustainable and actively engage in environmental initiatives, the Idealo scholarship program encourages your commitment and wants to support you in your journey.
