Scholarships, fellowships, and support are provided to Jacobs University students with the support of alumni and friends around the world. Some, like the Claus Halle Scholarship, were established in honor of Constructor University Foundation of America members, while others will be sustained by donations from generous CUFA members.
Notably, CUFA is currently expanding a scholarship fund that provides a sustainable, merit-based partial scholarship. This is the first alumni-driven scholarship from CUFA, and you are warmly encouraged to contribute to the fund. Donate here.
Current Scholarships
The Constructor University Foundation of America is committed to high-quality international education for all.
The CUFA Scholarship Fund enables the Foundation to award sustainable, recurring, merit-based scholarship for students at Constructor University. All current scholarships are awarded out of the income from our endowment, ensuring the sustainability of the scholarships. Thus, the foundation will be able to award its scholarships sustainable in perpetuity.
The initial contribution by Claus Halle has enabled us to award the scholarship that today bears his name. Ongoing contributions by Alumni and Friends to our endowment have enabled us to award the Ronny Wells Scholarship.
To enable further generations to study at Constructor University, we need your help in growing the endowment and with it the number of scholarships. Help us today to make the Alumni & Friends Leadership Scholarship a reality.
