Become a sponsor of the Germany Scholarship!
The Germany Scholarship is a joint initiative of the federal government and private sponsors to award scholarships to committed and talented students. Thanks to a large number of donors (companies, associations, foundations, and private individuals), around 150 students at WHU have been supported by the Deutschlandstipendium over the past 11 years.
The Germany Scholarship provides students with EUR 300 per month. One half is paid by the federal government, the other half by private sponsors.
Also with your contribution, we would like to support as many WHU students as possible with the Germany Scholarship.

In their own words –
Testimonials from sponsors and students.
Find out from sponsors about why supporting young talent is a unique opportunity and the potential it has to represent your company and hear from scholarship holders about the positive impact the scholarship has had on their commitment to studying.
"I was fortunate and thankful to have a Konrad Adenauer Scholarship while I was studying at WHU and am therefore very glad to support Students through the German Scholarship now myself.
People development and enabling the right culture was already at Forto a passion of mine and plays an even bigger role at AENU. We are contributing to the transition from a financial capitalist system to an impact capitalism that inherently drives environmental sustainability and social equality."
"The opportunity to engage in a variety of extracurriculars was one of the top reasons for me to apply at WHU. Upon arrival, I quickly engaged in numerous activities starting Day 1 (e.g. WHU Euromasters, WHU Students Help, SensAbility - The WHU Impact Summit) and continued to do so during my five years in Vallendar. Without the help of the scholarship, I would not have had the chance to focus on my studies and simultaneously participate in these activities this freely. Besides the financial benefit of the scholarship, it brought meaningful new connections: my sponsors were a WHU alumni couple who I’m still in touch with today."
"The German Scholarship offers us the opportunity to support highly talented and ambitious people in growing and unlocking their full potential. That is also what we believe in at Emma – The Sleep Company: We are building a team of extraordinary and ambitious talents – by now more than 900 – who learn, grow and make an impact. With this team we are one of the fastest growing companies in Europe and on our way to improve the way people sleep across the globe. And as WHU is also my alma mater, we are very happy to support new talents with the German Scholarship – for the past 3 years already."
"Receiving the Deutschlandstipendium and the recognition of my previous achievements is a great motivation to tackle new challenges with constant ambition. It enables me to continue making a positive impact through social commitment alongside my studies. The broadening of my perspective through the exchange with sponsors gives me new ideas for the time after my studies."
Invest in the future –
Support young talent at WHU.
No matter whether you have a small or large company, are a private individual, a foundation, or alumni - you can make a significant contribution to the education of young, talented people. Your funding of €1,800 for one year is matched by the federal government, providing the scholarship holder with the total amount of €3,600. Your generous support would encourage more young people to pursue scholarships in Germany while involving the private sector in the promotion of higher education. This initiative offers you the opportunity to inspire and educate future leaders.

Assessing more than just performance –
Supporting various circumstances.
The Germany Scholarship considers the wider circumstances of the applicant, beyond their academic performance. Special achievements, work experience, extracurricular activities, and personal circumstances such as illness, the care of relatives, a single parent, or migration background are all factored into the overall assessment. The application process begins mid/end of May, and the deadline is beginning of July each year.
