Dear Ladies and Gentlemen
Dear friends of our university
dear alumni of TU Clausthal,

Together with you, we would like to support particularly talented and committed people on their path to professional and social responsibility with a Deutschlandstipendium scholarship. With us, you have one of the most traditional technical universities at your side, which is characterized by a future-oriented and wide-ranging range of courses with a high degree of practical relevance.

The Deutschlandstipendium is an award for talented and high-achieving students. It supports them in their academic studies and gives them room for personal development and social commitment, thus helping the sponsored students to realize their full potential.

But the scholarship providers also benefit: Through the Deutschlandstipendium, they can promote young talent and come into contact early on with future specialists and managers who will receive an excellent education at Clausthal University of Technology.
The Federal Ministry doubles every grant for the scholarship program.

Over 28,000 students nationwide benefited from a Deutschlandstipendium in 2019. Since the program was launched in 2011, companies, associations, foundations and private individuals have raised around 197 million euros.

You too can support the Deutschlandstipendium at Clausthal University of Technology and help to promote responsible and well-trained specialists and managers of tomorrow.

We look forward to a mutually beneficial collaboration.

Donors:

  • receive an invitation to the scholarship presentation ceremony. This is where sponsors and scholarship holders meet and get to know each other.

In this agreement, you specify whether you would like to award one or more scholarships or a scholarship over one or more years and how many students at Clausthal University of Technology you would like to support.

An annual scholarship for a student at Clausthal University of Technology amounts to 1,800 euros for one sponsor. The federal government doubles the amount and adds another 1,800 euros.
In short, the scholarship holder receives 3,600 euros for the year.

In Clausthal, this amount roughly corresponds to the annual rental costs of a student apartment or around 10 euros per day for a good meal.

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

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

A TU Clausthal committee selects suitable students in a transparent process. When awarding the Deutschlandstipendium at Clausthal University of Technology, a concept was developed that takes a broad view of the concept of achievement. In line with the principle "Achievement is multifaceted", social commitment (20%) and social criteria (20%) are also taken into account when selecting scholarship holders in addition to high academic achievement (60%).
