Talent Development, Scholarships and Awards

There are numerous organizations that foster highly engaged and talented students by offering material and non-material support, as well as special advisory services. Which program is right for you?  

The TUM: Junge Akademie promotes the talents of the most talented students and young alumni of TUM and its participating partner universities. The core idea of the academy, founded in 2010, is to strengthen the sense of social responsibility of young professionals and to offer them experience in scientific work at an early stage. In an interdisciplinary exchange, the fellows develop innovative ideas and methods for investigating their own hypotheses. They are accompanied and supported by professors.

The program usually runs for 20 months. The academy is open to students who are nominated by the deans of their faculties or who actively apply for membership by means of an unsolicited application - supported by a member of the professorial staff.
