“There has been another increase,” Rector Prof. D. Udo Sträter happily remarks. “Together with the 27 scholarships awarded in summer semester, the number of awarded scholarships now totals 84.” It seems there is a growing interest by businesses to support education at the university. Six additional sponsors were found to fund eleven scholarships for winter semester.

“I’d like to expressly thank the sponsors for their commitment and backing of the university and its students. It enables us to continue supporting high-achieving and dedicated students in their education,” says the rector.

Among the new sponsors ist Deutsche Landwirtschaftsgesellschaft which is supporting university students through five scholarships. Other new sponsors are Stiftung Halle Institute of Technology Science and Technology which is funding two scholarships, FSA e.V. Munich, Kulturfalter Verlag Halle, Kyocera Document Solutions Deutschland GmbH and Scil Proteins Production GmbH Halle. Twenty-three sponsors who are funding 43 scholarships have extended their funding commitment. GP Papenburg AG and Saalesparkasse, which is funding five scholarships, are continuing their support.
