The Scholarship

CLAAS UK may select one student and if awarded the successful recipient will receive:

• A significant contribution towards tuition fees of £3,000 in the year prior to placement.
• Employment with CLAAS Harsewinkel during their placement year (please note: it is an essential requirement that the placement year will be spent in Germany).
• Subject to review at the end of placement there may be an opportunity of further funding in the scholar’s final academic year. There may also be opportunities for employment with CLAAS UK during the vacation periods.

Payment during placement year:

• 800 EUROs (net) per month at CLAAS Harsewinkel
• Accommodation paid by CLAAS Harsewinkel
• One return flight paid by CLAAS UK

A condition of your scholarship is that you undertake your placement year with the sponsoring firm. In the event you are unable to take up or complete your placement, the sponsor reserves the right to require the scholar to return all or part of any scholarship payment received.

The award will be paid in two equal parts; half to be paid in February 2020 and the remaining balance in May 2020.
