It takes two
The Deutschlandstipendium sponsors very talented and highly motivated students ensuring that future specialists and top executives get thoroughly trained. Students receive 300 euros per month: One half of this monthly allowance is financed by the German Federal Government and the other half is financed by companies, foundations and private sponsors. Every year students will receive their scholarship certificates for the Deutschlandstipendium in a ceremony.
Apply for 300 euros more a month!
Students and first-semester students at TU Darmstadt can apply for the Deutschlandstipendium from 21 September 2026 until 18 October 2026. The application takes only 10 minutes in the first step and is done via an online form.

More than just financial support – 15 years of the Deutschlandstipendium
The Scholarship was awarded for the 15th time at TU Darmstadt. 377 students will receive €300 per month for one year during the 2026/2027 funding period. The scholarship award ceremony and anniversary celebration took place yesterday in the Otto Berndt Hall.
How does it work?
Since summer semester 2011, students and freshers whose background promises outstanding performances during their future studies and career are sponsored by the Deutschlandstipendium. They receive 300 euros per month, half of which is financed by the German Federal Government and the other half is financed by private sponsors. This alliance between civic commitment and governmental sponsorship is what makes the Deutschlandstipendium so special.
Independent of their income, the scholarship holders receive a grant of 300 euros per month for at least two semesters up until the end of their prescribed period of study at the most. This way, they can fully concentrate on completing their studies successfully.
Successful partnerships for excellent talents
TU Darmstadt is one of the most successful universities nationwide for raising funds for scholarships. This is possible due to a special matching process which aligns the interests of students and their sponsors most suitably, thus, creating the best prerequisites for successful partnerships!
