Bridging grants Payment procedure and forms

After your bridging grant has been approved by the selection committee from an academic/qualitative perspective, we must verify your formal funding eligibility especially with respect to budgetary rules and social security law. To this end, the Graduate Academy will contact you by email to request the necessary information and following documents:

• Information for the receipt of a bridging grant
• if applicable: Compatibility of funding and (previous) employment at Heidelberg University
• if applicable: Application for child benefits

Please do not submit the application form for child benefits or the above funding eligibility forms with your original grant application. Please wait until your grant application has been approved and you have been asked to submit the necessary forms.

After a successful verification of your funding eligibility, you will receive the official awards notification that contains all of the necessary information about your funding.

The bridging grant cannot be paid out until you submit the following confirmation form to the Graduate Academy:

• Confirmation of acceptance of the grant
