The Pink Bear
scholarships
Promoting inclusion, tolerance, and diversity
The University of Europe for Applied Sciences (UE) offered 17 scholarships in collaboration with British artist LUAP.
The Pink Bear Project was a multifaceted initiative combining art, education, and community engagement. The 17 LUAP Pink Bear Scholarships, totalling €250,000, aimed to support diverse, talented individuals facing financial barriers as prospective students of UE. These scholarships were for undergraduate programmes and were open to EU and non-EU residents.
Pink Bear
Pavilion
A multifaceted initiative combining art, education, and community engagement
The project’s centrepiece, the Pink Bear Pavilion, was a 4-meter-tall walk-in installation made from recycled plastics.
It served as a platform for community engagement, featuring works by UE students and alumni. By combining educational access, environmental consciousness, and cultural engagement, this campaign demonstrated a holistic approach that fostered both individual growth and community development.
This initiative stems from LUAP’s personal journey, where his Pink Bear artwork, representing a safe space, became a symbol of healing through creativity. The Pink Bear symbolises inclusion, tolerance, and diversity.
UE offered the following scholarships:
– 2 x 100% of the full tuition fee of the selected study programme

The scholarships were available to all undergraduate (bachelor’s degree) programmes across all faculties and all German campuses at UE.
