GKS Scholarships

Annually GKS awards a number of prizes, aimed mainly at promoting young scholars. All applications sent to the GKS office by November 1 of each year will be considered by the president. Applicants will be notified by February 1 of the following year. The winners will be officially awarded their prizes at the annual conference of GKS.

GKS prizes

Each year three “GKS-Prizes” (EUR 1000 each) are awarded to students of all disciplines whose Diploma, Magister, state examination, master’s or doctoral theses deal with a Canada-specific topic and therefore require a research trip to Canada. The funding will facilitate work in Canada, such as field studies, library work, interviews, etc. for the preparation or completion of the respective project. The board or an appointed committee decides on awarding the prizes.
