Who can become a sponsor?
Sponsor can be anyone, whether a company, a foundation, an association or a private person. It is necessary to conclude a written agreement for the funding of scholarship holders at Technische Universität Chemnitz, which must be submitted to the contact point for the scholarship program of TU Chemnitz.Who shall be funded?
Students who are enrolled in the first or a higher semester at TU Chemnitz and who are among the best in their field of study can be funded. Applications may also be submitted by people who are about to enroll at TU Chemnitz and meet the relevant course entry requirements. The primary and most relevant funding criterion is the performance in the course of studies.
The following criteria, which go beyond a purely study-related performance orientation, can be used for the selection among equally eligible candidates:
- relevant work experience or internships
- special achievements, certificates and awards
- voluntary work; social, higher education policy or political commitment
- social situation.
How big is a scholarship and how long is the funding granted for?
The minimum contribution to support a scholarship is €150 per month, to which the Federal Government adds another €150. Scholarships are granted for at least one year (2 semesters). Thus, a minimum contribution of €1,800 arises. In terms of a long-term talent commitment you also have the possibility to extend the funding or to fund students already from the beginning of their studies for the whole number of semesters needed for a degree program (Bachelor: 3 years, Master: 2 years). You can also provide any number of scholarships. Private sponsors also have the opportunity to support the creation of a general scholarship fund of TU Chemnitz with smaller amounts. Here, however, you have no influence on the specific program design.
