About the scholarship
The Carl Hahn Scholarship, launched in July 2016, is designed to enable talented young people from Volkswagen’s catchment area in Wolfsburg, Chemnitz and Zwickau to study at universities national or international. Preference is given to applicants who can demonstrate social commitment in addition to very good ‘Abitur’ grades.
The financial situation of the student’s family is also taken into account. The duration of the scholarship is one year with the option of annual renewal until the end of the course. Regular performance records are obligatory and applicants are requested to send an informative letter of application to info@hahn-stiftung.org.
Our current scholarship holders

Hejie Zhu
First baccalaureate, then a Bachelor degree, followed by a PhD. Those were probably the thoughts that crossed my mind the most when I was just about to graduate from high school.
Sandra Sokolov
I became aware of the Carl and Marisa Hahn Foundation through my work at Volkswagen. Through my dual studies at Volkswagen, I
already had the opportunity to earn a Bachelor’s degree in business administration. I am all the more pleased that I am now also being supported for my Master’s degree – by the Carl and Marisa Hahn Foundation.

Our former scholarship holders
Niklas Robert Tyler
In August 2022, as part of my holiday job, I had the special opportunity to accompany Prof Carl H. Hahn to a church service. During the journey, we talked about God and the world, as well as about his life. If I had been told at the time that this encounter would inspire me to study in China for six months two years later, I would never have thought it possible. But that’s exactly how it turned out!

The scholarship was not only a financial help for me, but also a source of inspiration. It gave me the courage to enter a new environment and take on new challenges.

I became aware of the Carl and Marisa Hahn Foundation scholarship through a Wolfsburg newspaper article and subsequently submitted my application.

After successfully completing my Bachelor’s degree in Munich, I was able to start my Master’s degree with a year abroad at the TU Delft in the Netherlands and successfully complete my Master’s degree in Munich in the summer of 2021.
