Elsbeth-Wolffheim-Scholarship of the Science City of Darmstadt

In 2004, the Science City of Darmstadt and the PEN Center Germany set up a grant to give a writer the opportunity to pursue his or her work as a writer in peace and without financial hardship.

The scholarship, which is awarded for a period of one year, is named after the writer Elsbeth Wolffheim, who died in 2002 and who organized German PEN activities for politically persecuted authors for many years.
