[交流] 洪堡基金会对于奖学金申请人的一封回复邮件的分享已有2人参与

洪堡奖学金是国际上规模最大、管理最好，也因此最负盛名的机构性奖学金项目。洪堡奖学金的经费主要来自德国外交部，所以，这主要是德国吸引和培养学术精英，输出德国软实力的一个举措。
基金会有针对青年博士后的传统奖学金，还有面向资深研究人员的所谓“洪堡奖”；两者的学术地位都非常地高，因为洪堡有个口号：一次洪堡，终身洪堡。入了洪堡，就算正式加入了一个终身被待见的高口味的学术俱乐部。
洪堡其实是亲兄弟二人，哥哥是威廉洪堡，做过普鲁士教育部长、是倡导寓教于动手实践相结合的教育家；而弟弟则是终身四处学术周游，去过100多个国家，跟各国科学家有过4万多或者8万多封信件的博物学家。洪堡奖学金的名字来自弟弟亚历山大，是依他的个性、口碑品牌所树立的，鼓励优秀的青年学子走出去和请进来。
现在洪堡每年有600多个奖学金发放，其中中国和印度是最大的申请人群体。中方每年全学科的通过者人数约在80个人上下。

下面是一个洪堡基金会申请部主管对一位中方申请人的回复，其中有很多有意思的信息和内容。
（提示申请材料完整，但是评审结果要等11月份才知道，而当下的申请通过率只有三分之一左右：奖学金通过后，也需要最早两个月最晚一年起动, 等等。）
