The UAre@OTHAW project was realised at OTH Amberg-Weiden as part of the DAAD funding programme "Future Ukraine – Scholarship Programme for Refugees from Ukraine at German Universities".

The project was coordinated by KOMO (OTH AW Competence Centre Bavaria – Central and Eastern Europe). During the project period from January 2023 to July 2025, a total of five Master's students and ten Bachelor's students received a monthly scholarship. This financial support enabled the recipients to continue their studies despite the difficult circumstances resulting from the Russian war of aggression.

The scholarship holders also benefited from individual support, language courses, coaching and access to new networks. This enabled them not only to expand their technical and language skills, but also to develop new perspectives for their personal and professional future.

OTH Amberg-Weiden remains committed to cooperation with Ukrainian universities and supports students and teachers in other projects, such as the DAAD funded project Tandem UA-DE.

The scholarship holders have embarked on impressive paths and given a lot back to the university through their commitment. Some of them have organised several information events for prospective students from Ukraine and continue to support them in their goal of studying in Germany.
