Deutschlandstipendium for students at the HNEE

About the project

Since the winter semester 2011/12, the Eberswalde University for Sustainable Development has been supporting particularly committed and high-achieving students with the HNEE German Scholarship.

The aim is to give students the opportunity to reach their full potential and concentrate on their studies without hindrance - regardless of their income or BAföG funding.
HNEE students can receive 300 euros per month for at least two semesters and up to the end of the standard period of study. The grant is made up in equal parts of funds from the Federal Ministry of Education & Research (BMBF) and funds from private sponsors.

Since the 2022 summer semester, the Stiftung Zukunft jetzt! has been supporting 10 particularly dedicated and high-achieving students at the Eberswalde University for Sustainable Development as part of the national Deutschlandstipendium scholarship program. The funding focuses on the following degree programs: B.Sc. in International Forest Ecosystem Management, B.Sc. in Sustainable Food and Agricultural Systems, B.Sc. in Socio-Ecological Forest Management, and the master’s programs M.Sc. in Global Change Management and M.Sc. in Forestry System Transformation. These programs are uniquely dedicated to training holistically minded, internationally active ecosystem managers and change agents who are capable of systematically addressing the challenges of natural resource management in the context of global change and developing goal-oriented solutions for a transition toward sustainability.

Regardless of income or BAföG funding, the supported students receive 300 euros per month for at least two semesters, allowing them to realize their full potential and focus on their studies without distraction.
