Scholarship for students facing financial hardship – apply now!

The Donation Barometer project has been running since the winter semester 2023–24 thanks to financial support from the association "Friends of the University": for every questionnaire completed by new students, students completing their studies and graduates, the association donates two euros to scholarships for students facing financial hardship. Students can obtain a one-off stipend of up to 300 euros from these funds.
