Shaping the future: Scholarships for Germany's committed talents!
On March 21, 2025, a special event took place at the University of Freiburg, at which Honorary Senator Dr. Dieter Salomon gave an inspiring keynote speech for students. In his speech, he encouraged those present to walk through the open doors of life at the right moment. These motivating words were spoken in the context of the Deutschlandstipendium, which is supported in 2025/26 and benefits outstanding students.
The Deutschlandstipendium is a significant initiative financed by private donations and public funds. Half of the monthly scholarships of 300 euros are financed by scholarship providers such as companies and foundations, and the other half by public federal funds. Scholarship holders must meet certain selection criteria. In addition to very good academic achievements, social commitment and biographical challenges are also taken into account. The application deadline for next year is March 31, 2025, and a total of 210 scholarships are expected to be available.
Application process and requirements
The Deutschlandstipendium supports talented and committed students at state and state-recognized universities in Germany. To apply, those interested should first find out more about its advantages and how it works on the Deutschlandstipendium website. It is also advisable to check whether your own university is part of the program. All state and state-recognized universities can take part, which increases the chances of receiving support.
Applicants are encouraged to inquire directly about the entry requirements and application procedures at their university. You then have to submit your application there with the required evidence. As part of the application process, individual strengths such as social commitment and special personal achievements are also crucial. These aspects are recognized alongside academic achievements to support comprehensive talent development.
Scholarships and their importance
The Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) sees the scholarships as an important measure to support talented people in science, society and business. The programs aim to nurture talent and facilitate personal and professional development. The scholarships are not repayable, but provide educational opportunities, personal development and valuable networking opportunities.
The Deutschlandstipendium is co-designed by private actors such as the German Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DIHK) and others. These partnerships are essential for state-funded gifted education. The offer is aimed not only at students with a general university entrance qualification, but also at other talented people who are committed.
Overall, the Deutschlandstipendium offers an excellent opportunity to create the financial basis for successful studies, while at the same time encouraging broad support for personal and social commitment. The program will continue to support many students in the coming year who are able to make a positive impact on society.
