In recognition of the contributions of Max Mannheimer (1920 – 2016) for the International Youth Meeting Dachau and with the aim of keeping his legacy alive, the Max Mannheimer Scholarship has been constituted in 2018 on the initiative of the district of Dachau. Every year, up to three young people from Germany and abroad who do not have sufficient financial means are given the opportunity to attend IYM Dachau free of charge. The scholarship is organized by the IYM Dachau organizations and is under the patronage of the District Administrator Stefan Löwl.

 

The scholarship is subject to funding.

CAPACITY
The scholarship includes the participation fee and the travel costs.
