The Foundation of Friends of the Public University for Music and Performing Arts Stuttgart e.V. is the benefactor behind this award. The goal is to support gifted students and to help in financially hard situations. Therefore allowances are granted towards educational projects. Within this scope the students travel expenses, course fees, accommodation expenses and in special cases the costs for an accompanying mentor are subsidized.
Students enrolled in Creative Arts, Performing Arts, Music or Musical Science at the Public University for Music and Performing Arts Stuttgart may apply. Financial indigence has to be shown. Academic performance is the main selection criterion.
