Other funding opportunities for students

The Austrian database for scholarships and research grants is the most comprehensive online database in Austria concerning all research areas. Moreover, research allowances, prizes and other funding opportunities can be found. Information is given including details of application conditions (application deadline and place) as well as on duration, allocation and financing of each grant. The continuous updating of the database is undertaken both by the Austrian Exchange Service (OeAD) and directly by grant-awarding institutions, which guarantees up-to-dateness of the data.
This database has been financed by funds of the Austrian Federal Ministry for Science and Research and the EU. Enter the database here.
