Technical University of Applied Sciences Augsburg Scholarship Ceremony: 30 Scholarships Awarded to Students

During a ceremony on October 22, 2026, 30 students received their scholarship certificates. Over the course of one year, they will now benefit from both moral and financial support through a so called Deutschlandstipendium or a corporate scholarship. Through both types of scholarships, companies, foundations, associations, and private sponsors support particularly talented and dedicated young people.

This year, the scholarship ceremony took place at the Canoe Organization Center at the whitewater sports facility on the Augsburg Ice Canal. After the official portion of the event—the presentation of the scholarship certificates—scholars and sponsors had the opportunity to mingle and exchange ideas at a get-together. 

Through a Deutschlandstipendium or a corporate scholarship, particularly talented, high-achieving, and dedicated students receive a monthly stipend of 300 euros for a period of one year. There is one key difference in how the two types of scholarships are funded: For the Deutschlandstipendium, half of the funding comes from companies, associations, and foundations, while the other half comes from federal government funds. With the corporate scholarship, the sponsors cover the full amount of the grant but, in return, have the opportunity to actively participate in the selection process for scholarship recipients: Together with the THA, they establish the eligibility criteria. From the pool of applicants, those who meet the appropriate qualifications are then selected.

Prof. Dr. László Kovács, THA Vice President for Academic Affairs, AI, and Educational Innovation, addressed the scholarship recipients during the event, saying: “I would like to extend my warmest congratulations to all of you on receiving your scholarship! It is intended to provide you with financial flexibility so that you can focus on your studies and your community involvement, further develop your skills, and realize your full potential. At the same time, it is also a sign of recognition for your outstanding academic achievements and your volunteer work.”

Addressing the scholarship donors, Kovács said: “On behalf of the THA, I would like to thank you sincerely for your commitment. Especially in economically challenging times, your support sends an important message about fostering young talent. In doing so, you are helping to ensure that dedicated students become the skilled professionals of tomorrow—and at the same time, you are strengthening the future of our business community.”
