Criteria for the allocation of a scholarship are not only excellent study achievements, but also engagement in society and social activities, as well as overcoming personal restrictions and hurdles related to certain life situations, e.g. first generation academics or a migration background.
Rector Prof. Dr. Katharina Riedel pointed out that hundreds of thousands of talented students from all disciplines across Germany have benefited from the Deutschlandstipendium since its launch. In 2023 alone, 31,424 scholarship holders were supported with 32 million euros raised by 9,572 private sponsors. 'This impressive financial commitment from the Federal Government, private sponsors and universities fosters academic excellence, creates personal freedom and thus promotes the realisation of individual lifetime opportunities and - increasingly importantly - also counteracts the shortage of skilled workers. As the largest private-public partnership in the educational sector, the Deutschlandstipendium sustainably strengthens the ties between science, business and society.’
A Deutschlandstipendium amounts to 300 euros per month and is granted for a period of at least one year. Half of the sum is provided by the Federal Government. The University raises the remaining amount from businesses, foundations, societies and private individuals.
