We hope to enable all students independent of financial means to attend the winter school. Therefore, we have reserved a limited budget for travel grants. Please send us an email with a motivation (200 words) and a list of needed funds to our email address wwcs2025@gmail.com. With the acceptance letter, we will notify you with how much money we can support you. In case the required budget exceeds the available funds, we might not be able to cover all your needed costs.
SECS grant
You may also apply for the SECS grant of the yrCSS. Successful applicants will be reimbursed up to 800€ for their expenses, including travel and registration.
Sicómoro grant
Fundación Sicómoro offers 3 scholarships for applicants to the workshop. To be elegible to this scholarship, you must follow these steps:
1. Pre-register for the WWCS2025: Fill out the general application form.
2. Indicate interest in the scholarship: While completing the application form, explicitly mention that you are applying for one of the three Fundación Sicómoro scholarships. Even though it is an Spanish foundation, all nationalities and languages are welcome to apply.
3. Submit a motivation letter: Attach a letter of motivation addressed to Fundación Sicómoro, explaining why you want to participate and why you should be awarded the scholarship. This letter of motivation should be a different letter to the cover letter for the workshop.
If awarded the scholarship, you will be exempt from paying the registration fee for the WWCS2025. Scholarship recipients are expected to participate fully in the workshop and will provide a summary in Spanish of their experience to Fundación Sicómoro after the event.
