We’re on board! What about you?

Read here what drives companies to get involved with the Deutschlandstipendium and support students at the University of Bayreuth.

Daniel Höfer, Leiter Personal Deutschland, Brose Fahrzeugteile SE & Co. KG
The Deutschlandstipendium allows us to support dedicated students who excel and   take on responsibility — values that are central to our family-owned company. At the   same time, we are investing in education in the region and helping young talent   develop their full potential.

Stefanie Schmidt, Talent Acquisition Specialist – Hochschulmarketing, HUK-COBURG Versicherungsgruppe
At HUK-COBURG, it is important to us to support and encourage young people on their   journey. We know that talent shows itself in many different ways — in strong academic   performance, in commitment to others, and in the courage to pursue personal goals. That is exactly what we want to support through the Deutschlandstipendium. For us, support means more than financial assistance. It is about trust, appreciation, and opening up new perspectives. We want to give students the freedom to focus on their personal and academic development while following their own path. As HUK-COBURG, we invest in education because it helps shape the future. For us, the Deutschlandstipendium is a valuable opportunity to get to know talented young people, support them along the way, and help shape the future together.

Prof. Dr. Klaus Schäfer, Schatzmeister, Lions Hilfswerk Bayreuth-Kulmbach e. V.
This scholarship is an excellent fit with the charitable mission of our Lions Hilfswerk   Bayreuth-Kulmbach association. It allows us to help young people move forward on   their academic and professional path even more effectively and quickly. Our regular   exchange with the scholarship recipients is highly rewarding and reinforces our belief that, at Lions, these scholarships should be seen as a long-term commitment to   supporting young people and education — and, in this context, to supporting   outstanding students in particular. Because we are active in both Bayreuth and Kulmbach, it is important to us to support one scholarship at each university location.

Dr. Michael Weihermüller
The timely and coherent reaction to demographic change has become a success factor for staffing policy in the enterprise. The looming skills shortage - heightened by the shift of the population to large cities – is one of these challenges. The Deutschlandstipendium in cooperation with the University of Bayreuth offers us the opportunity to support young, dedicated talent and future professionals, and win them for the region. At the same time, we are able to meet students early on in their career, and inspire them to join our enterprise.

Bernd Uebersezig, HR Director NETZSCH Group
NETZSCH is proud to serve as a sponsor of the Deutschlandstipendium scholarship programme at the University of Bayreuth, as this initiative allows us to support talented and socially active students throughout their educational journey. Innovation, progress, and competitiveness depend on people who are willing and able to make a difference. That is why we support them both within our company and at higher education institutions, ensuring that the talents who will drive our society forward can develop to their fullest potential, regardless of their social background.

Florian Prosch, Vorstandsvorsitzender der Rainer Markgraf Stiftung, Bayreuth
The Rainer Markgraf Foundation supports education, science, and research at   universities and higher education institutions in Upper Franconia and the Upper   Palatinate. In the spirit of the founding family, we see this as a contribution to making our home region an attractive place to live and grow. Encouraging young people is an important part of that mission. At the University of Bayreuth, we do this not only   through our projects, but also very specifically through our commitment to the   Deutschlandstipendium. With our five scholarships, we are able to help students   succeed in their studies.

If you deliver products worldwide of the highest technical standard, conducting mass production based on complex processes, you need a highly-qualified team. An intensive working relationship has meanwhile been built up between Schlaeger M-Tech and the young technical faculties and institutes in the Bayreuth area. For many years, students have been able to experience the ingenuity, efficiency-mindedness and passion for technology of our company, and to contribute their own creativity. By supporting two scholarships, we have in place another important element in our training strategy, and are pleased to be able to pass on some of the “mind-set of the SME.

Dipl.-Ing. Anton Fuchs, Managing Director of Technology, Schlaeger M-Tech GmbH
