"Ensuring academic success together" - this was the theme of the GFF's 2023/2024 annual fundraising campaign. Thanks to the support of many members and network partners, the donation target of 20 graduation scholarships was reached. This enabled us to support 10 students at the start of each semester with a three-month scholarship so that they can concentrate fully on their final theses.
We would like to introduce some of the selected scholarship holders here and tell you about their plans after graduation.

He says: "The fascination of science, the lively discussions in some seminars, the characters of the professors, the campus and the SLUB. Canteens, practical seminars, working in the CATI lab. There are many good memories!
is completing his master's degree in physics. He is then aiming for a doctorate in the field of experimental solid-state physics and would like to work as a crystallographer in the semiconductor industry. "Spending the summer with fellow students on the Elbe, watching movies in the Kino im Kasten, spending long hours in the SLUB for the exercise sheets, spending time in the cafeteria."
is completing his master's degree in physics. He would then like to do a doctorate and work in the field of theoretical particle physics. What he likes most about Dresden is the old town, especially the area on the banks of the Elbe. "I will miss the friendships I made during my studies."
is completing a teaching degree for elementary school. "After graduating, I would like to work in the elementary school sector before pursuing a doctorate. After this, I would like to divide my time between working as a teacher and a position in a publishing house, where I would like to work on both children's literature and teaching materials."
Laura Hartmann
graduates with a double degree in architecture. The associated 1.5-year stay in Strasbourg and Paris will remain a special memory for her. She then wants to gain experience in an architecture firm and, in the longer term, find out for herself how her interests in climate protection, biodiversity and ecology can be combined with the field of architecture.
Florentine Berndt
is completing her teacher training for grammar schools. "After graduating, I would like to stay in history and build on existing knowledge from my state examination thesis and then start my traineeship at school. After that, I could imagine working in both areas, academia and school."
Thank you very much for your support!
