Deutschlandstipendium at TUM

For more than ten years, young talents throughout Germany have been supported by the Deutschlandstipendium. At TUM alone, more than 8,800 students have received both financial and non-material support since then. Behind this number are just as many young people with different paths in life.

Assuming social responsibility

The Deutschlandstipendium at TUM means assuming social responsibility on different levels: the sponsors, who provide targeted financial and non-material support to young talents, TUM, which works on solving social problems through research and enables students to work on them in the future through an excellent education. Last but not least, the students themselves, who, thanks to the financial leeway they receive through the Deutschlandstipendium, find the time to commit themselves to society!
