Leuphana awards 2025 Germany Scholarships to 35 outstanding students
2025-05-09 Lüneburg. Leuphana University Lüneburg has once again awarded Germany Scholarships to particularly high-achieving and socially committed students this year. At a ceremony on 8 May 2025, 35 students were honoured on campus after being selected from around 200 applicants.
The Germany Scholarship provides students with €300 per month for a period of one year. Half of the funding comes from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, while the other half is provided by private funds from companies, foundations, associations and individuals.
University Vice-President Prof. Dr. Markus Reihlen emphasised the importance of the scholarship as financial support, but also as an expression of recognition and confidence in the students' potential. "The award-winning students are not only eager to learn, hard-working and successful in their studies, but also devote a lot of time to others. Some achieve very good grades despite personal obstacles – it is admirable how they manage to juggle so many things."
The names of the award-winning students are: Sara Alli Majid Abad, Nils Arndt, Leander Bansmann, Alina Beringschmidt, Gesche Böckelmann, Ivelina Karaatanasova, Kathrin Dürr, Theresa Fritzen, Jasper Hansen, Yasemin Heigwer, Mailin Hüring, Sabrina Jodeit, Alena Keite, Simon Klopsch, Fenja Knies, Teresa Knothe, Linnea Sofie Krause, Julia Liedtke, Annika Liesche, Karla Noack, Jonas Räbiger, Feline Rosengart, Timur Salakhetdinov, Nele Schmidt, Alma Shaikimova, Ina Staudt, Ida Marlen Stefener, Leo Strietzel, Larissa Swienty, Svea Lynn Timmermanns, Valerie Sofie Tollhopf, Carolin Vater, Florian Wabnitz, Michelle Joyce Wudi and Fiona Wüpperling.
Leuphana thanked the sponsors for their commitment, including many companies and institutions from the region. New additions this year include the Lüneburg University Foundation for Research and Business. The new foundation aims to intensify cooperation between Leuphana University and the regional economy in order to promote innovative, sustainable and digital solutions. These considerations led to the creation of ‘LüneburgTalent’ – the Germany Scholarship of the Lüneburg University Foundation for Research and Business, which was awarded to five Leuphana students for the first time this year.
This year's sponsors also include: the Adalbert Zajadacz Foundation, the Alumni and Friends Association of Leuphana University Lüneburg, the Altner-Combecher-Kohler Foundation, CLAGE GmbH, the Edda Worminghaus Foundation, Frank Schach, Hansa Partner GmbH, Henning Zühlsdorff, the Lions Club Lüneburg-Ilmenau, the Lucia Pfohe Student Foundation, plietsch! Steuerberatungsgesellschaft mbH, Reiner Roghmann, Sparkasse Lüneburg, the Volksbank Lüneburger Heide Foundation and Studio Hamburg Serienwerft GmbH / Rote Rosen.
