Tuition fees, living expenses and scholarships Tuition fees, living expenses and scholarships

Each scholarship is awarded for one year and is paid to the recipients in monthly installments of €300. Private sponsors fund half of each scholarship. The federal government and the states provide the other half. In concrete terms, this means that with a donation of only €150 per month (€1,800 per year) you are investing in a student's future. This can form the basis for other networking opportunities such as trainee programmes, practicum placements or final projects.

HAW Hamburg acts an intermediary, organises the selection of the students, and manages the programme. The beginning of each funding period is marked with an awards ceremony at HAW Hamburg, which we invite all sponsors and scholarship recipients to attend. This official ceremony, which is usually held in March, provides the first opportunity to get to know one another in person. You can see photos of the last awards ceremony here. As part of an accompanying programme the university organises at least two main events, and all sponsors and scholarship recipients are invited to attend. 

By deciding to become a sponsor you can invest directly in a talented young person's academic education. Your participation in the Deutschlandstipendium programme also benefits you in various ways:

• You can establish contact with tomorrow's business leaders.
• We make it possible for you to meet the scholarship recipients in person in a festive setting.
• You can position yourself as an academic sponsor and use the Deutschlandstipendium logo.
• We honour your involvement on the HAW Hamburg website (if desired).
• You can claim the funding as a donation for tax purposes.
• Your sponsorship facilitates exchange with the university and can serve as a springboard for further cooperation.

Sponsorship is based on your provision of financial support for the students. There are two ways of donating:

• Through an annual scholarship (min. €1,800) you take on the sponsorship of one or more students. In the funding agreement you can make specific funding requests – for example, that the funding be dedicated to a particular faculty or degree course.

• Through a one-time donation (min. €100) that flows directly into our scholarship fund, where we collect all donations for the Deutschlandstipendium. As soon as adequate funding for a scholarship is available, a student will be selected.
