Falling Walls Foundation Scholarship

The Falling Walls Foundation Scholarship supports undergraduate and postgraduate students worldwide who are engaged in innovative research and scientific discovery. Established by the Falling Walls Foundation, this prestigious program provides financial assistance to students demonstrating exceptional academic merit and research potential in STEM fields, social sciences, and humanities. The scholarship is closely associated with the annual Falling Walls Lab competition, where participants present breakthrough ideas in just three minutes. Applicants must showcase how their research addresses significant global challenges and contributes to breaking down walls in science and society. The selection process evaluates academic achievements, research proposals, leadership qualities, and potential for societal impact. Recipients gain not only financial support but also access to the Falling Walls network of scientists, entrepreneurs, and policymakers. The scholarship typically covers tuition fees, research expenses, and living costs for one academic year, with amounts varying based on individual circumstances and study location. Application deadlines usually fall in the first quarter of the year, with decisions announced by mid-year for funding commencing in the following academic term. This program represents a unique opportunity for students to advance their research while connecting with a global community dedicated to scientific progress and innovation.
