Heinrich J. Klein Foundation

About the organization

The objective of the Heinrich J. Klein Foundation is to sponsor science and international exchange by granting scholarships to people during their training and further education period. By establishing the H. J. Klein Foundation Dr. Heinrich J. Klein (former chairman of the board of the special glass manufacturer SCHOTT AG, Mainz) and his wife Dr. Liesel Klein have provided a basis for a better understanding of different countries and their cultures. In 1993 the couple brought the private funds for the international education of people in training and further education worldwide. Since then, the foundation has financially supported almost 50 scholarship recipients in Germany and abroad.
