University of Music Karlsruhe Internal Grants
The University of Music Karlsruhe has an internal system of funding opportunities, including full and partial scholarships, tuition fee grants and other financial support measures aimed at the entire international student body. These support equal opportunity for all students and the necessary freedom for personal development during studies.
Social criteria play a special role in awarding these scholarships: In particular, individual need, but also the financial situation of parents of students, are taken into account. This applies particularly to grants using funds from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and the Friends of the University of Music Karlsruhe.
Other grants are awarded primarily on an artistic basis. As a rule, each public invitation for grant requests is followed by a competition decided by a jury, usually assisted by external experts. Competitions usually conclude with an awards concert.
Another format is the so-called support scholarship, in which scholarship recipients undertake to become involved in mentoring other students.

CONTRALTO scholarship for low female voices
Under the aegis of Professor Anneliese Fried, the Badisches Staatstheater and the Karlsruhe University of Music have agreed to collaborate on a project called CONTRALTO in 2022. The aim is the long-term promotion of low female voices in opera. The cooperation provides for a female singer currently studying for a master's or soloist's degree at the University of Music to receive a scholarship for up to two years with opportunities to perform at the Badisches Staatstheater. The singer will receive a contract as a beginner in the opera section.
Anneliese Fried is the initiator and financial supporter of this ten-year project, which begins in September 2022, and is thus giving something back to Karlsruhe and its up-and-coming singers: as a student from the very beginning, she began her studies at the Karlsruhe University of Music in the winter semester of 1971 and made her debut at the Baden State Theatre in the summer semester of 1976, made possible by the close links between the university's teaching staff at the time and the theatre.
Anneliese Fried supports CONTRALTO with an annual donation. She chairs the selection committee, which also includes a member of the head of the vocal department and the head of the opera department at the Karlsruhe University of Music, Nicole Braunger, opera director of the Badisches Staatstheater and Georg Fritzsch, general music director, in order to find a suitable candidate. All members of the selection committee are entitled to vote. The final decision on the selection is the responsibility of the artistic management of the Badisches Staatstheater.
The call for applications is published each year on the homepage of the Karlsruhe University of Music. Students (alto voice) of the Karlsruhe University of Music who have not yet reached the age of 32 and have not yet completed the penultimate semester of their standard period of study or who can provide proof of enrolment at the Karlsruhe University of Music at the beginning of the scholarship period can apply by 31 January.
