Applications are open to students of medicine at Austrian universities who are at least in their third year of study in October 2023 and have their main place of residence in Austria.
The monthly scholarship installment amounts to 923 euros, which can be applied for until the end of the studies, but for a maximum of 48 months, if the studies are successful. The state of Lower Austria plans to award at least ten such scholarships.
After completing their university education, the scholarship recipients are guaranteed a rotation position or a job in Lower Austria. This is intended to give them the chance to gain a foothold in the private practice sector or in hospitals. In return, they commit to working for at least five years in a region of need in the state of Lower Austria.
In the fall of 2022, 20 scholarship places have already been awarded to medical students. The OeAD is pleased to continue to be a cooperation partner of the initiative, which makes an important contribution to sustainable medical care in the province of Lower Austria.
