About MTU Studien-Stiftung

MTU Studien-Stiftung supports high-performing young women in STEM fields in Germany, with a clear emphasis on career development rather than broad academic scholarship. Its KONTUR program combines workshops, training, mentoring, role-model talks, networking, and company visits to help participants build confidence, leadership skills, and professional pathways into technical careers. The foundation appears closely linked to MTU Aero Engines and favors hands-on, employer-connected programming that helps women transition from university into industry.

Giving Approach

Primarily a structured annual fellowship/program model (KONTUR) with yearly application rounds; support is program-based, experiential, and likely limited to selected student cohorts rather than open-ended grantmaking. Activities include workshops, trainings, mentoring, role-model sessions, and site visits, suggesting modest-to-medium direct support focused on participant development.

How to approach this funder

Watch for the annual KONTUR application deadline and apply early through the foundation’s program process; eligibility is geared toward accomplished female students in STEM studying in Germany. Strong applications should emphasize academic excellence, motivation for a technical career, and interest in mentoring, networking, and leadership development.
