Partially funded

Deutschlandstipendium at Kunstakademie Münster (Cité Internationale des Arts Paris residency)

Kunstakademie Münster, Germany

Scholarship overview

The Deutschlandstipendium is the German national scholarship programme in which the federal government and private donors jointly support high-achieving students. At Kunstakademie Münster it is tied to a six-month stay at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris, funded through the programme with support from the Freunde der Kunstakademie Münster e.V.

Individual applications outside this arrangement are not possible, because the federal funds available to the academy (provided via MKW NRW) are earmarked for this purpose.

Award Information

  • Student of a class at Kunstakademie Münster, nominated by the class head (one nomination per class head).
  • Artistic project that is relevant to the city of Paris and the French art scene; this is requested from nominees by MKW NRW.
  • No existing merit-based material funding averaging EUR 30 or more per month; such funding excludes a Deutschlandstipendium.

Internal selection takes place at the beginning of each year. The studio in Paris is allocated annually.

  3. Nominees demonstrate the relevance of their artistic project to Paris and the French art scene.
  4. Final selection is made by the Cité Internationale des Arts Paris.
