Code of Conduct for Fundraising acitivities (in German)

Invest in the best!

Is your company interested in meeting the best students from the most relevant faculties? The Deutschlandstipendium gives you a chance to do so.  

Currently, Esslingen University of Applied Sciences is looking for company sponsors to support outstanding and committed students by means of the Deutschlandstipendium for 2020/21. The Deutschlandstipendium honours the achievements of its recipients by supporting them financially with 150 euros per month from the company sponsor and a further 150 euros from the government.

Why not participate!
You can sponsor our most promising future graduates with 1,800 € per year

As well as financial support, you can offer non-material benefits, such as practical placements/internships or company tours to stimulate interest in your company. Moreover, you will consolidate your position in the regional network – with the University and award holders. Your company also receives special status from the Career Centre (placement of company contacts, prior reservations for our company contact fair, etc.).

In the selection of award holders, you can make your wishes known to the faculty and take on an advisory role in the University’s selection procedures towards the end of September. At the same time, we find out about candidates’ areas of special interest, so as to achieve as close a fit as possible between the company and the award holder.

Your Advantages

  • Tax benefits
  • A sponsor’s seal that you can use in marketing your company
  • Placement of your logo in University publications (posters, brochures, etc.)
  • Presentation of your company at an official ceremony with students
