Every year in the winter semester, the University of Bremen awards approximately 120 scholarships as part of the "Deutschlandstipendium". Since 2011, the Deutschlandstipendium has been supporting talented and high-achieving students at state and state-recognised universities in Germany, thereby also promoting long-term networks between non-academic partners, students and the university. Companies, foundations, private individuals and associations can make a scholarship possible through their donations. The special thing about this: every euro is matched by the state!
