Dr. Liselotte Kirchner-Scholarship

Thanks to a generous foundation by Dr. Liselotte Kirchner (Offenbach), the Francke Foundations are able to award research grants. The aim of the scholarship programme is to further develop research on the history of the Francke Foundations on the basis of their rich source collections. The scholarship programme serves to promote the academic use of the source material available in the library and archive of the Study Centre. Three-month scholarships are awarded for scholars and three-month scholarships for young scholars from Germany and abroad (post-docs). Recipients of a scholarship are required to reside in Halle, give a scholarly presentation and submit a short report on their research carried out within the context of the scholarship programme. The scholarships are combined with a residence obligation in Halle and an academic lecture as well as a short final report.
All dates for the scholarship holder lectures can be found here.
The application process for the scholarships 2022 starts in June 2021.
