The 15th anniversary sets a new record: TUD awards 376 Deutschlandstipendien
TUD Dresden University of Technology has awarded 376 students with the Deutschlandstipendium, which is more than ever before! Following the scholarship award ceremony in the Schönfeld lecture hall, the scholarship holders came together with their sponsors for the first time at the celebration on January 30, 2026 in the fittingly decorated Alte Mensa. This is an important opportunity for recruiters to get to know talented students, as well as for them to meet and garner skilled workers. In recent years, we have continuously succeeded in increasing the number of scholarships available - an impressive sign of a strong partnership between the university and companies, associations, foundations as well as the solidarity with our alumni.
The Deutschlandstipendium celebrates its 15th anniversary this year. To mark this milestone, TUD launched the "15 years - 15 scholarships" fundraising campaign for additional scholarships. Alumni, private individuals and current scholarship holders all took part. The result exceeded our expectations: Instead of 15, we were able to award a total of 16 anniversary scholarships.
Since the program was introduced in 2011, more than 4,000 scholarships have been awarded at TUD, which were supported by over 250 private sponsors. The program is based on a special principle that has been applied since its introduction: Promoting talent as a joint endeavor. Private sponsors - including companies, foundations, associations and committed individuals - provide the funding, while the state matches every euro raised.
Especially in light of rising living costs, the Deutschlandstipendium is an important means of support for students. Sponsors also benefit from early contact with qualified young talent - particularly in view of the growing demand for skilled workers in the region.
