The Afro Asiatisches Institut Salzburg (AAI) opens its doors for students from developing countries under the One-World Scholarship Programme. The grant aims to support international students from Africa, Asia, and Latin America who are interested in development issues and who have come to Austria on their own initiative in order to complete their education.
With a partial scholarship and a monthly allowance of 500 € at Master’s level and 550 € at PhD level, the One World Scholarship grant supports students at public universities or universities of Applied Sciences in the regions of Salzburg and Tyrol.
The scholarship **gives priority to female students**, as it believes that exercising the right to education for critical and intellectual young people who encounter poor conditions in their home countries affect women more.
### **Eligibility**
To successfully qualify for a spot, the applicant must:
- Be a citizen of a non-European developing country (Refer to: [Official Country List](https://ocms.at/upload/kunden/2/bilder/laenderliste-2021100.pdf))
- Have a resident student permit for Austria
- Be a maximum age of 30 years old for Master’s studies (35 years old for mothers), and 35 years for PhD studies (40 years old for mothers)

**EVIDENCE OF GOOD PROGRESS IN STUDIES.** Students who have already completed at least one semester at an Austrian university have an advantage in programmes without entrance exams. Overall, however, academic excellence and good documented study progress documents through transcript of records for current and past studies will also heavily impact the application process.
**INTEREST IN DEVELOPMENT AND ACCORDING SPECIALIZATION IN STUDIES.** Prospective scholars must show strong interest in development-related issues. This should be reflected in their choice of study fields, prior work experiences, and voluntary activities.
Possible fields of specialization include, but not limited to, the following:
- Poverty reduction
- Social justice
- Global migrations
- Gender equality
- Climate change
- Sustainable use of resources
- Food security
- Renewable energies
- Environmental protection
