Getting in Contact with Your Sponsor

Every Deutschlandstipendium scholarship recipient receives half of their funding from a private donor, while the remaining half is provided by the German state. Your sponsors are accomplished figures from the world of research, civil society, and business who form part of a rich network of contacts and can offer you guidance in your professional and academic life. Sponsors tend to make different opportunities available to the students they are supporting and will usually contact scholarship recipients directly.
We also wish to encourage you to be proactive and reach out to your sponsor. By introducing yourself with a short summary of who you are and where your professional and academic interests lie, you can pave the way for a fruitful scholarship year. You can ask the Deutschlandstipendium office for your sponsor’s contact details or further information at any time.
