Would you like to take on an active role, make a difference and help shape our alumni network? Great! If you volunteer to share knowledge current students can benefit from your know-how and valuable expertise. Or if you would rather, you can set up a foundation to fund particularly gifted and talented students. Another option would be to start an alumni group as a forum where people can meet and share ideas.

Your contribution counts
Become a donor or sponsor
You can support FAU and its students financially and ideologically with the Germany Scholarship or the Universitätsbund.
Deutschlandstipendium
FAU supports its top students as part of the German government’s Germany Scholarship programme. Each semester, scholarships of 3,600 euros for one year are awarded to the most gifted students. The unique feature of this scholarship is that half of the money comes from companies, donors, friends of the university, alumni and sponsors, while the other half is provided by the German Federal State. We would be delighted if you, too, would like to help support talented students and young researchers at FAU by donating to the Germany Scholarship.
