Information on scholarship & application
There are various ways to apply for a scholarship at the European Forum Alpbach. The Club Alpbach Vorarlberg awards scholarships to interested persons who have a strong personal connection to the Bundesland Vorarlberg. In 2024 we also have the opportunity to grant one international scholarship where the connection to Vorarlberg may be less distinctive. We advise all others to inform themselves HERE about the numerous other application possibilities.
Application Deadline
The application window for the European Forum Alpbach 2024 is closed.
Information on the application phase for the EFA 2025 will be published here at the beginning of the year. The 2024 application phase took place from March 1 to 31, 2024.
Scope of a scholarship
A Club Scholarship enables participation in the European Forum Alpbach and covers the entire participation fee as well as accommodation. Any travel expenses must be covered individually. Club scholarship holders also have the opportunity to join the Club Alpbach Vorarlberg.
