At the start of the 2025/26 academic year, Frankfurt School revived a cherished tradition: the Donors’ & Friends’ Circle. Friends and donors were invited to a networking reception at which the Board expressed its gratitude for their generous support and active engagement.

In his address, Frankfurt School President Professor Dr Nils Stieglitz highlighted the successful 2025/26 intake. This year, Frankfurt School welcomed 609 new Bachelor students, 269 first-year Master of Finance students, and 214 students beginning their MBA studies. The new Master’s programmes in “Financial Technology” and “Real Estate” also had a strong start. In particular, companies such as the WM Gruppe and Deutsche Bank contributed by providing scholarships for these new programmes.

The commitment of alumni was also explicitly recognized. An increasing number of alumni are donating to support Deutschlandstipendien or establishing Diversity Scholarships. This year, the Alumni Association is funding 15 Deutschlandstipendien, once again making it the single largest contributor to this format.
