Company commits to national scholarship program „Deutschlandstipendium” for young academics.

FuelCon AG has recently decided to participate at scholarship initiative „Deutschlandstipendium“ of Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg, starting at summer term 2011. Thus, the company not only grants a talented engineering student, but is also committed to keep skilled young professionals in the region of Saxony-Anhalt.

Jointly financed by the national scholarship program of the German Government and private donors, the “Deutschlandstipendium” shall support high-motivated students who are showing not only strong performance in courses, but also social engagement. After a careful selection process by the University, the excited students received their scholarship certificates end of April during the ceremonial awarding.

One of the key reasons for FuelCon’s participation was of course own entrepreneurial aims encouraging young academics for staying in the region and winning them as new staff for the company. But also the personal solidarity of the managing board with the city Magdeburg and the Federal State of Saxony-Anhalt played a major role. “Me and my partner Ingo Benecke have studied at Otto-von-Guericke University in Magdeburg, before we founded our first own company” says Mathias Bode. “We are working in a high-technical and fast developing industry field that needs clever, innovative and high-skilled people in order to develop tomorrow’s energy. The “Deutschlandstipendium” is a great initiative to assure this.”
