TU Dortmund University has been offering the Deutschlandstipendium as a financial support opportunity for students since the winter semester of 2011/2012. Through this program, companies and private donors provide support for high-achieving and talented students. This funding year, a total of 241 scholarships have been funded by 58 sponsors. Compared to the previous year, TU Dortmund University gained four new donors for the Deutschlandstipendium. Some donors who had taken a short break returned this year, while others even increased the number of scholarships they funded. The largest sponsors include Sparkasse Dortmund, the Wilo Foundation, the Bernd Jochheim Foundation, the RAG Foundation, the Artur and Lieselotte Dumcke Foundation, the Association of Friends of TU Dortmund University, Leue & Nill GmbH & Co. KG, and Evonik Operations GmbH.
The Deutschlandstipendium provides funding for at least two semesters, during which students receive 300 euros per month – 150 euros are contributed by the federal government and another 150 euros by private donors, foundations, or companies. The selection of scholarship recipients focuses on outstanding academic achievements. Additionally, community involvement, a willingness to take on responsibility, or special social, family, or personal circumstances are taken into account.
Special commitment honored
As part of the scholarship celebration, the Soroptimist Sponsorship Award was also presented to Hülya Uysal, who is studying to become a teacher. Daniela Fischer, President of the Soroptimist International Club Dortmund, commended her for her excellent academic achievements and her volunteer work for Friedensdorf International in Oberhausen.
