Support Measures
The Göttingen Graduate School of Social Sciences provides support measures and scholarships for PhD students of social sciences. Caused by the Corona-Pandemia many schools, child care and care institutions were not able to offer their service in a reliable manner. For this reason the GGG offers an additional deadline for the Family friendly Completion Grant until Oct 4, 2020. In October and November application deadlines for two mentoring programs are opening as well. The GGG offers some grants with flexible application possibilities, too.
