In granting scholarships, the Stiftung seeks to counteract the social, political and gender discrimination prevalent in our society, and therefore gives preference to applications from women, students of non-academic and migrant backgrounds, the socially needy, and people with disabilities who demonstrate comparable achievements and commitment.

Applications are particularly encouraged from undergraduate and doctoral students pursuing studies in science and technical disciplines, as well as graduates of technical colleges.
