Matching Challenge 2025

SUCCESSFUL AGAIN - 7 NEW SCHOLARSHIPS!

For several years now, many of our scholarship holders and alumni have shown us through their numerous and generous donations that support from the Deutschlandstipendium is not just a one-way street. They give something back and help to ensure that other students can also receive funding.

This great feedback has encouraged us to challenge our current and former scholarship holders in a MATCHING CHALLENGE. Every euro donated is "matched", i.e. doubled. This type of fundraising campaign, also known as the Stips4Stips Matching Challenge, is now in its fifth round!

In this year's Stips4Stips Matching Challenge 2025, one generous private matching sponsor wass doubling the donation amount. But before the amount was doubled, our scholarship holders first had to complete the challenge.

The challenge was that the donation amount is only doubled by the matching sponsor when the scholarship holders raise 6,300 euros themselves. As a donation total of 7,621.21 euros was reached, the matching challenge was successfully completed. With the matching by the sponsors and the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, 7 additional scholarships were funded.

The campaign ran from September 1 to September 30, 2025.

Final donation balance: €7.621,26

Thank you to all donors - you are amazing! Dear scholarship holders, dear former scholarship holders, we are proud of you – and of what you make possible with your donations. Donating is not something that can be taken for granted. It means placing your trust in others, taking responsibility and showing solidarity. This makes it all the more impressive that you are giving, even though many of you are still at the beginning of your own financial journey. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your courage, your trust and your desire to support other students. You are making a real difference.
