A special feature of the Deutschlandstipendium at Goethe University is the non-material support program.
In 2013, Goethe University was awarded first prize in the nationwide competition "Die Besten begleiten" (Supporting the Best) for its innovative support concept.
Beyond the financial support, the essence of the scholarship lies in its non-material support program, which aims to convey one principle above all: "Haltung zeigen" (take a stand). Our educational initiatives and events are designed to reinforce the scholars' commitment, while encouraging them to explore new avenues and find innovative solutions to promote social responsibility.
Working in small, interdisciplinary groups, scholars have the opportunity to examine and critically discuss current issues from a variety of perspectives. Together with volunteer mentors, they develop ideas and concepts that are then implemented in real-world projects, thus making a positive contribution to the university, the region, and our society in general.
Regular events such as workshops and lectures give scholarship holders the opportunity to get to know prominent figures from the region and the city of Frankfurt, to make important contacts, and to gain inspiration for their own careers. In addition, there a many opportunties for personal development and professional skills training. We have high hopes for you, so take an active role in shaping our citizens' university!
The program is primarily supported and financed by the Stiftung Polytechnische Gesellschaft Frankfurt am Main. We would like to thank the SPTG for its long-standing cooperation and generous support.
