friendship and cooperation connect us to Ghana and, more
recently, to other parts of West and Central Africa as
well. With the scholarship, we want to support talented
young people from African countries wishing to come to
Heidelberg University to start and successfully complete
a Master’s degree or a doctorate. Where financial
resources are limited, a scholarship can be crucial.
Programs of study in the fields of Geography, Political
Science and Sociology are particularly important to us.</em>”
