About Christian und Dorothee Bürkert Stiftung

Christian und Dorothee Bürkert Stiftung focuses on strengthening social cohesion through education, integration, and civic participation, with a clear preference for supporting disadvantaged and motivated young people. A major part of its giving is tied to scholarship partnerships with German universities, especially the Deutschlandstipendium and refugee/first-generation student support, alongside prizes and support for outstanding academic research. It also funds selected community projects, youth initiatives, and occasional international or cross-border education efforts when they align with its social and scientific priorities.
