• The students not only gain an important insight into your company and economic contexts, but can also give something back to you: you benefit from new ideas and perspectives, from the motivation of the young professionals and possibly integrate them early and successfully into your company.

Donors:

• receive an invitation to the ceremonial handover of the scholarships. Here, sponsors and scholarship recipients meet and get to know each other. At the same time, they come into contact with other scholarship donors and supporters from politics and business, as well as with our scientists and the presidium of the Clausthal University of Technology.

Donations can be made by non-profit organizations, associations and foundations as well as companies or individuals such as alumni, emeriti or friends of Clausthal University of Technology.

A sponsorship agreement clarifies the details and will be sent to you in advance without obligation.Here you specify whether you will award one or more scholarships or a scholarship over one or more years and how many students of Clausthal University of Technology you would like to support.

A one-year scholar ship for a studentof the TU Clausthal amounts to 1,800 Euro for a sponsor. The federal government doubles the amount and adds another 1,800 euros. Conclusion: The scholarship holder thus receives 3,600 euros for the year. In Clausthal, this amount roughly corresponds to the annual rental costs of a student apartment or about 10 euros per day for a good meal.

But even small amounts of 50 or 100 euros help. The donations are added up.

You can choose from which of our three faculties the scholarship holder should come.

A committee of the TU Clausthal selects suitable students in a transparent procedure. In awarding the Deutschlandstipendium at Clausthal University of Technology, a concept was developed for this purpose that understands the concept of achievement in a broad sense. In line with the principle that "achievement is multifaceted," the selection of scholarship recipients takes into account not only high academic achievement (60%), but also social commitment (20%) and social criteria (20%).

Andrea Langhorst (Tel.: 05323/ 72-2260) or Prof. Gunther Brenner (Tel.: 05323/ 72-2515) will be happy to answer your questions or suggestions personally or via our contact form.
