Funding Awards Ceremony

We celebrate the awarding of significant theses and outstanding engagement by students, financed by regional and national sponsors.

Recognizing the special achievements of our students and graduates is important to Osnabrück University!

The Funding Awards ceremony is a special highlight in the University's calendar of events. For decades, a large number of different prizes have been awarded by private sponsors, associations and companies to recognize outstanding students for their achievements.

Every student, every graduate and every doctoral candidate brings their own little story to university life. Many see their studies or their personal situation alongside their studies as a special challenge that needs to be overcome. Be it that the topic of the Master's thesis was particularly extensive and yet led to a particularly good grade, that a Doctorate was successful despite being pregnant at the same time or that the gray theory of the studies was supplemented with many cultural impressions and practical or social experiences. Anyone who invests a lot of energy, commitment and effort in an academic degree will be delighted to receive special recognition.

Osnabrück University awards more than 20 different Funding Awards every year. Regional and national donors recognize outstanding Doctorate, examination and study achievements in various disciplines. Funding Award scholarship holders are nominated by their lecturers. This alone is a special achievement.

With the public presentation of the Funding Awards, Osnabrück University aims to give visibility to the motivation of its students and young academics.
