BPSA Program
Scholarship for a development and career orientated internship or research in the native country (BPSA) for students from Asia, Africa and Latin America
Vocational traineeship and study visits (in German = Berufsvorbereitende Praktika- und Studienaufenthalte – abbreviated BPSA) are a program by “Bread for the World", a programme of help instigated by the protestant churches in Germany. The motto behind that work is “justice for the poor”.
BPSA serve to encourage subject-related learning and the achieving of goals connected to the studies. But they also serve to touch base in your home country after having been abroad for a long time. In addition they enable a combination of study contents and of development policy practise.
Vocational traineeship and study visits are financially supported by STUBE
- For the preparation of a developing country-related study or
- for completing a study- or occupation-relevant traineeship during the main studies
- The minimum duration of the stay should be four weeks.

- Detailed specification of the project at the place of destination (this can be the home country or another country of the home region); e.g. which investigations are going to be made, whether you are planning to do a survey, or whether you need to consult any other institutions on location. In the case of a traineeship: at which company and within which range are you going to do your research
- Recommendation letter of a responsible person in the relevant department
- Certificate of the traineeship in your home country
Benefits of the BPSA-program
The support consists of the payment of the travel expenses to the most favourable tariff and if necessary a health insurance. A lump sum will be refunded as a compensation of the arising cost of living (300,00 € for up to 60 days, more than 60 days: 500,00 € ).
The flight reservation is generally taken over by the STUBE-office.
We need the following supporting documents:
For the preparation of a student research project:
We need a certificate by the responsible lecturer to make sure that the student will be advised while doing his/ her professional assignment. The project ought to be approved of and supported by the tutor. The tutor should also support the application for BPSA. In addition, we need a proof that the applicant doesn’t get any other scholarship.
For a traineeship:
A certificate of the company that a traineeship is offered to the applicant. The period as well as the contents of the traineeship have to be indicated. In the case of a traineeship, which is not an optional part of the study course: the confirmation of the responsible office that the traineeship is approved of and will be accepted. In the case of a traineeship, which is an optional part of the study course: the recommendation of a lecturer that this traineeship is favoured and the request for BPSA supported. In addition, we need a proof that the applicant doesn’t get any other scholarship.
