The Deutschlandstipendium
RPTU has been awarding Germany Scholarships since the winter semester 2011/2012 to ensure that promising talents do not fail due to lack of money. Talented and committed first-year students and students in higher semesters are supported with 300 euros per month. In the winter semester 2011/12, 54 Deutschlandstipendien were awarded for the first time, thus utilising the funding quota of 0.45% of students. In 2012, this quota increased to 1% of students. A total of 124 Deutschlandstipendien were awarded in the winter semester 2012/13. In the winter semester 2023/24, there were already 156 scholarship holders.
Through these scholarships, RPTU, together with private sponsors, aims to improve your study conditions and reward you for your commitment to your studies.
You will also gain valuable contacts and access to the career networks of the sponsoring companies.
Over 1600 Deutschlandstipendium scholarships have already been awarded. This is currently made possible by around 50 sponsors from companies, foundations and associations - as well as committed private individuals.
