Jacobi Scholarship a Monaco per dottorandi
GRADUATE STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP
The financial support of the Gerda Henkel Foundation and the Elise and
Annemarie Jacobi Foundation, in accordance with the will of Mrs. Annemarie
Jacobi, makes it possible for the Commission to support graduate students
"of outstanding ability and limited financial freedom" from all countries
of the world who are currently preparing or completing doctoral
dissertations in the field of Ancient History and closely associated
fields. Work on the publication of a dissertation can also be supported as
long as the date of the examination is no more than six months prior to
the date of the application.
The Commission hereby advertises scholarships for German and foreign
doctoral students to enable research stays at its library, which is
excellently equipped for work on Ancient History. The planned stay should
be of a duration of three months – according to the quarters of the year.
In addition to a desk in the library, candidates will receive free
accommodation in a fully furnished apartment on site, a reimbursement of
their travel costs up to a maximum of EUR 350 (Europe) or EUR 900
(overseas), and a subsidy of EUR 600 per month for their living costs.
Applications in German, English, French, Spanish or Italian are to be
accompanied by the following documents:
1. A detailed description of the dissertation project with details about
its current state of completion
(up to 3000 characters in total)
2. A work schedule (up to 250 characters in total) for the stay in Munich
/ for the funding period
3. The date of the funding period (1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th quarter of a year)
4. A curriculum vitae
5. Copies of the most important existing academic qualifications
6. Letters of reference, one from the dissertation supervisor and one from

Applications are possible four times a year (by 1 January, 1 April, 1 July

They should be submitted at least six months before the beginning of the
