Deutschlandstipendium at TUM
For more than ten years, young talents throughout Germany have been supported by the Deutschlandstipendium. At TUM alone, more than 8,800 students have received both financial and non-material support since then. Behind this number are just as many young people with different paths in life.


This unique initiative is a guide for young talents who have the courage to pursue their goals and change the world.

Matching Challenge 2025
Successful for the 4th time - €120,000 in the Matching Challenge 2025
Doing good 12 times over with minimal effort - that was the goal of this year's Matching Challenge of the TUM Deutschlandstipendium. Thanks to the incredible willingness of our scholarship holders and alumni to donate and the generous support of our co-donors - Anneliese Pfannenberg Foundation, Friends of TUM, Alexander Tutsek-Foundation and TUM Honorary Senators Dr. Farhad Farassat and Prithwis Basu - more than €120,000 was raised in the Matching Challenge 2025.
This will enable us to award a total of 33 more Germany Scholarships in the coming funding year. The success of this challenge is another impressive step towards supporting even more ambitious and committed young people on their academic and professional path.
A reason to celebrate!
Every year, sponsors and scholarship holders of the TUM Deutschlandstipendium come together for the festive event - a highlight in the event calendar of the TUM Deutschlandstipendium. We look back on this special event together.
Assuming social responsibility
The Deutschlandstipendium at TUM means assuming social responsibility on different levels: the sponsors, who provide targeted financial and non-material support to young talents, TUM, which works on solving social problems through research and enables students to work on them in the future through an excellent education. Last but not least, the students themselves, who, thanks to the financial leeway they receive through the Deutschlandstipendium, find the time to commit themselves to society!
