Alumni support Students - donate now!

Studying in a more focused way, with less money worries and doing voluntary work: since 2011, all these have been made possible by the Alumni-Club Unversität Münster for some of the high-performing, socially engaged students at our University. Through the donations received from its members, the Alumni-Club supports the University’s "ProTalent" scholarship programme.

In the current funding year 2023/2024 a total of 125 students are receiving funding through donations made by Münster University alumni and their companies, by the Alumni-Club Universität Münster, by other alumni associations and by emeriti. With your help, we want to continue to expand our support for today’s generation of students.

Together with other alumni, you can make a big difference. We collect all individual donations made, and as soon as an amount of 1,800 euros has been raised, the donations are combined for a scholarship and, the state matches the amount. Alternatively, you can donate 1,800 euros to cover a complete scholarship and, in doing so, help a scholarship holder for one year.

Here is a list showing which alumni are already making donations to the Alumni-Club Universität Münster and its funding projects.

Our scholarship holders for the 2024/2025 funding year will be presented here shortly.

How the ProTalent scholarships work

Every year, suitable scholarship holders – from all 15 of the University’s departments – are chosen by commissions of the faculties. Academic achievements at school and university are part of the selection criteria just as much as social engagement and special social, personal and family circumstances. ProTalent scholarship holders receive 300 euros per month. What’s special about the scheme is that the scholarships – which are based on the Deutschlandstipendium – are funded in equal parts by the state and by private donors. Donors and scholarship holders can, if both parties so wish, meet and stay in contact.

Donations go straight to the recipients

A scholarship is awarded in recognition both of academic success achieved so far and of special engagement. But, in particular, it offers new perspectives for students, giving them the opportunity to develop their creative ideas without having any financial worries. The full 300 euros of financial support is made available to the students every month, and no deductions are made.

Good reasons for offering support

There are many good reasons for supporting young people in their university careers. By supporting the ProTalent Deutschlandstipendium,

• you, as an alumna or alumnus, support gifted, engaged students and, in doing so, you strengthen your ties to your alma mater in a very special way,
• you enable students to develop their talents,
• you provide new opportunities for students to go abroad, avail themselves of cross-disciplinary offers and do voluntary work,
• you strengthen the University of Münster as a centre of education and research, and you support the establishment of a living scholarship culture, and
• you help to make our society fit to face the future.
