Scholarships and funding for founders and student entrepreneurs
Scholarships often fund the person as much as the project: training, mobility, seed. Criteria are precise (age, country, background), and selection leans heavily on the file.
What scholarships look at
Beyond the project, they assess your trajectory and potential. The personal story matters, but it must stay factual.
- Strict eligibility: age, nationality, level of study, field.
- Motivation tied to a concrete project, not a general wish.
- Evidence: achievements, references, a coherent path.
A clean scholarship file
A targeted motivation letter (not a copy-paste), a clear CV, and a realistic project or action plan. Tie each scholarship to what it funds — a training scholarship doesn't expect the same story as a seed one.
GIAN and scholarships
GIAN helps structure the project behind the application (diagnostic, roadmap) and write contextualized letters. It doesn't guarantee selection: an age or nationality criterion can't be worked around.
