On April 26, 2021, the Hamburg Scholarship, awarded by the Studierendenwerk Hamburg, was presented for the third time. The Hamburg Scholarship is intended for students at various universities in Hamburg who, despite facing unique life challenges, have pursued higher education and are studying with great dedication and success. The award recognizes not only academic achievement but also social engagement and intercultural and personal skills. This year, the scholarships were awarded to 21 students with a background in migration or as refugees. In addition to financial support of 150 euros per month for each scholarship recipient, the one-year program also includes non-financial support in the form of invitations to events where the aspiring academics can establish valuable contacts with institutions and companies. In 2021, MB Energy sponsored the scholarship for the first time with a contribution of 2,200 euros, thereby securing a scholarship for one student.
