For many years we have supported students at our university through the Deutschlandstipendium scholarship, half of which is funded by individuals or companies and supplemented by the German government.
Thanks to generous private and corporate donations, we have been able to award 12 of these scholarships to our students in each of the past years. All of them have greatly helped recipients better succeed in their studies and get involved in social life at KLU and beyond.
In the 2023/24 academic year, we would like to continue our commitment to the Deutschlandstipendium at a high level. To do so, we need your help.
By making a tax-deductible donation to the KLU Academic Foundation of just 1,800 euros, which is doubled by public funds, you will be supporting a student for a full year.
Have a look below at the current KLU scholarship recipients telling their stories about the enormous impact the Deutschlandstipendium has had on them.
Please join us. Make a donation – and a big difference – for special young talent!
Thank you very much.

Experiences from our scholarship holders
Our scholarship holders 2022/23
Besides my studies, I work for both action family e.V. and ChefTreff. As a youth leader at Action Family, I organize the vacation camps, and at ChefTreff, as Lead of Operations and Network, I work with my team of eight students and young professionals to put together what is now Germany's largest talent event. It's not always easy to juggle everything. The Deutschlandstipendium has helped me financially to implement my voluntary activities with Action family and ChefTreff and to make my everyday life during my semester abroad more carefree. I am convinced that support from the scholarship can provide a certain freedom to implement other projects alongside my studies.
Patrick Anton Brodisch, BSc in Business Administration, Class of 2024
The Deutschlandstipendium’s financial support has been of great help for me. Specifically, for financing my studies. I also dedicated part of this financial aid to further personally develop myself: I took German courses that allow me to better integrate into the German community and have better professional opportunities. Another very important thing for which the Deutschlandstipendium helped me was for my visa. Having this scholarship facilitated my visa process and helped me meet the financial requirements needed.
Astrid Gandara Martinez, MSc in Global Logistics and Supply Chain Management, Class of 2023
The Deutschlandstipendium provided me with a safety net and some relief amid this rising inflation to help me with my daily expenses. I donated a portion of my scholarship money to a NGO. The NGO takes care of adults and children with down syndrome from poor families which cannot afford private facilities. We also organized a meal for underprivileged children of my locality and provided them with school stationaries. As an international student at KLU, the student period is a very stressful period with respect to finances. Students try to save every possible penny to minimize their expenses. The students at KLU come from all sorts of backgrounds and have their own fights and challenges going on in their life. Each student has their own unique story, and they are the heroes of it. A helping hand in the form of the Deutschlandstipendium plays an important role in a student’s mental and physical well-being and it also motivate students to contribute towards society.
Madhav Haresh Patel, MSc in Global Logistics and Supply Chain Management, Class of 2023
Thanks to the Deutschlandstipendium, I was able to better focus on extracurricular activities such as Advisupply and the buddy program. I would not have pursued my ambitions if I had been preoccupied with other issues that prevented me from being productive. The financial aid gave me a sense of responsibility and that someone had counted on me, which motivated me to move forward in daily life. I believe that the engagement of companies could bring a strong synergistic effect to students who are studying with ambitions while giving the opportunity to grow both from an academic perspective and a social perspective.

MINIMUM EFFORT, MAXIMUM IMPACT – FAQ for Donors:
The Deutschlandstipendium operates on a public-private partnership (PPP) funding model. The maximum amount per scholarship and academic year comes to a total of 3,600€ -- 1,800€ from private and 1,800€ from public funding.
Your support goes to students who demonstrate both academic excellence as well as a high level of social engagement.
The Deutschlandstipendium helps students in need of financial assistance in order to better cope with the high costs of living in Hamburg. It has been our experience that especially international students benefit from this support. There have also been cases where the scholarship has aided in purchasing expensive academic literature, participating in summer schools, or attending conferences.
With the combined support of your donation and that of the federal government, recipients are in a much better position to achieve their academic goals.
One unique facet of this scholarship is that recipients of the Deutschlandstipendium benefit from a new flow of extramural contacts provided by their supporters. They gain access to a variety of career networks in economics, science, and society in Germany which may have otherwise been unattainable to them.
Yes, this is possible. This would mean that one 1,800€ scholarship would consist of contributions from several separate donors.
Whether it’s 50, 100 or 500€, we are extremely grateful for each euro we receive and ensure that all incoming donations will be awarded solely and directly to the recipients.
Each euro donated will be doubled by the federal government.
