Thanks to the initiatives by private foundations Dr. Günther Findel-Stiftung/Rolf und Ursula Schneider-Stiftung fellowships programmes for doctoral candidates have been established at the Herzog August Bibliothek. These programmes are open to applicants from Germany and abroad and from all disciplines.

Applicants may apply for a fellowship of between 2 and 10 months, if research on their dissertation topic necessitates the use of the Wolfenbüttel holdings.
