Projects already initiated, i.e. for which travel arrangements (e.g. flights) have already been booked, are generally not eligible for funding. So, before making any binding reservations, you are required to submit a request for authorization to make early arrangements for the project. The Goethe-Institut’s approval of such a request, however, does not constitute a firm commitment to award any funding.
As a rule, the Goethe-Institut will not fund the entire project and will only award travel grants.
Applicants have no legal entitlement to financial support. Any funds we provide are a voluntary contribution to projects that are closely in line with the objectives of the German Federal Government's foreign cultural and educational policies.
