If you see your professional future in Lusatia, a scholarship from the Lusatian Lignite Foundation could be the first step on the way.

Our foundation has been active in the region since 2004. A wide range of funding projects provide young people with prospects and opportunities for personal and professional development in Lusatia/Upper Lusatia. In addition, awarding scholarships to master's and diploma students is an integral part of our funding activities.

We particularly support students with a connection to Lusatia/Upper Lusatia and the regional economy in industry and commerce. We are primarily interested in applicants for technical degree programs, in particular geosciences and geo-engineering, energy management, electrical engineering, computer science, mechanical engineering and environmental engineering.

As an applicant for a scholarship from the foundation, you should be characterized by outstanding achievements, but also a high degree of university and/or social commitment. You must be enrolled at the TUD Dresden University of Technology and have a remaining standard period of study of two semesters.

This is what you can expect from us:

• A one-off grant of up to €6,000 (double funding is excluded) and assistance with the allocation of Master's or diploma topics,
• Support in finding suitable company assignments or career entry opportunities

For this we expect

The complete receipt of the application documents by 20.01.2025 at the Lusatian Lignite Foundation. This includes

• Cover letter with reasons for the particular motivation to study in accordance with the call for applications
• Curriculum vitae, including non-university interests and activities
• Letter of recommendation from the study institution (justification for selection)
• Transcript of records and certificate of enrollment

Once the documents have been received and checked, we will invite suitable applicants to a personal 15-minute interview in February 2025. The Board of Trustees will make the final decision on the award.

We look forward to receiving your application!
