Sponsors have the opportunity to support different areas of the university and thus to assist both the HFT Stuttgart and the students. The Studienstiftung acts as an intermediary between the founder/donor and the university participants. Each project is preceded by a consultation with the funding recipient with the aim and purpose of funding.
With its own university foundation, the Studienstiftung der HFT Stuttgart, the university assumes a special social responsibility. The desire to provide young people with a good education and thus open up future opportunities for them led to the establishment of the foundation in 2011. The foundation capital was made available by the Verein Freunde der HFT Stuttgart. Students who found themselves in financial difficulties due to the tuition fees at the time were to be able to obtain a good degree with the help of scholarships. After the abolition of tuition fees in 2012, the scholarships were retained, as the financial support and networking with the sponsors proved to be an extremely positive motivation boost.
In addition to the support of scholarships, there are other possibilities to become actively involved in university life as a sponsor. Companies, offices, foundations, associations or private individuals are cordially invited to become involved with the HFT Stuttgart. Every contribution counts.
