TU Dresden supports schools with a particular focus on STEM subjects and awards scholarships to successful, hard-working graduates of a school which is a member of a STEM school network – either the MINT-EC or MINT Zukunft schaffen network. The STEM scholarship is awarded by the Association of Friends and Sponsors of TU Dresden (GFF).
The scholarship includes:
- Financial support of €300 per month for the first year at university.

- Getting to know regional companies and GFF members at events such as company visits and meetings.
