The Marc de Montalembert Foundation is pleased to invite applications for its grant scheme to help develop a better knowledge of the cultures of the Mediterranean world as well as their dissemination, particularly among the young people of that region.
To encourage young people in acquiring a better knowledge of the cultures of their region, one or two grants – scholarships for projects are awarded each year for the realization of a cultural undertaking or one having to do with the development of a craft. Since 1994 the Foundation has provided financial support to 30 projects undertaken by young grant winners from 8 Mediterranean countries. Projects have been realized in the following fields:
- Creative writing
- Architecture
- Archeology
- Anthropology and sociology
- Music
- History of art
- Craftsmanship
- Engraving
- Painting
- Photography
Funding Information
- A €7000 grant for a project would be awarded to a young person from the Mediterranean.
Eligibility Criteria
- Come from a country bordering on the Mediterranean,
- Be less than 28 years old the year of the grant’s award,
- manifest a genuine vocation in a specific cultural field or one linked to the development of a particular craft,
- Present a project related to that vocation which shall be realized in one or more countries of the Mediterranean as long as different from the applicant’s origin country.
Evaluation Criteria
- The winner must present the final result of his project within the next year. The Foundation, having assessed the quality of work, may consider aid to its publication and dissemination.
- Are taken into account only individual and personal projects with a cultural nature. Projects must be original and produce a concrete outcome in a form that it may spread. No collective projects are admitted, nor those projects related to a course of study or a university research.
