Liese Prokop Scholarship is now open for application. The Austrian Integration Fund (ÖIF) is taking applications for the Liese Prokop Scholarship award for asylum seekers in the 2024 academic session.
About the Austrian Integration Fund (ÖIF)
The Austrian Integration Fund (ÖIF) is an initiative of the Republic of Austria and an associate of the federal government in improving integration.
In its work, the ÖIF is aimed at;
Individuals eligible for asylum, individuals entitled to subsidiary protection and third-country citizens.
People with a migration background.
Institutions, organizations and multipliers in the integration, social and educational sectors.
Austrian society.
The ÖIF was founded in 1960 by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the Federal Ministry of the Interior (BM.I) under the name “Refugee Fund of the United Nations”. The Hungarian crisis of 1956 and the associated wave of refugees made it clear that Austria needs an appropriate institutional framework to take care of refugees.
After it was separated from the BM.I in 1991, 2002 denoted a landmark in the history of the ÖIF. From this point on, the ÖIF’s performance profile was specifically expanded and since then the ÖIF has been jointly responsible for the implementation of the integration agreement. In this context, the ÖIF handles German exams across Austria at various language levels and evaluates German integration courses for ongoing quality assurance.
The Austrian Integration Fund (ÖIF) supports committed students who are entitled to asylum and who are very successful in their studies, who do not receive any state funding in Austria and who need verifiable financial support for their studies, with the Liese Prokop scholarship. The Liese Prokop Scholarship supports the completion of the studies and entry into the Austrian labor market.
Why Apply For Liese Prokop Scholarship?
In addition to financial support, the scholarship also includes participation in a program of seminars, training courses and exchange meetings. The focus of the training program is on studying, preparing for the Austrian job market and getting to know Austrian culture and history. Seminars, workshops and excursions are organized. Particularly important this year: For most of the program items there are online alternatives that can be used if necessary. Involvement in the supporting program is mandatory and a crucial part of the scholarship award.
