Expert reviews in the Henriette Herz Scouting Programme

Have you been asked to provide a reference for an applicant in the Henriette Herz Scouting Programme?

In that case, you play an important part in the success of the application. In order to support the application in the best way possible and to ensure that the application package can be processed efficiently, please take note of the following points:

• Please use the list of questions and make sure you answer all the questions
• Your reference is an important part of the candidate’s application documents. If your reference is missing, the application is incomplete and cannot be submitted. We therefore recommend that you prepare your reference with an official letterhead and your signature, then scan and upload it to the application in the corresponding secure area as soon as possible. The applicant will send you the link to this area by email.
• Your reference will, of course, be treated confidentially by the Humboldt Foundation and its Selection Committee.
