Sponsors of the University of Applied Sciences Ludwigshafen e.V.
In order for the university to be able to fulfill its tasks in teaching and research, it needs committed support from the business community, especially financial support. This is where the "sponsors" see their core task.

According to its statutes, it pursues the non-profit purpose of supporting the Ludwigshafen University of Applied Sciences for Business and Society both ideally and materially in fulfilling its educational mission. The association thus represents an important link between practice and the university.
The association is a non-profit organization and can issue donation receipts.

Awards
- Bachelor's degree programs
Once a year, the sponsoring association awards a prize for the best practice-oriented Bachelor's thesis and for the best Bachelor's graduate.
Practice-oriented theses with a focus on business administration are eligible for the prize for the best Bachelor's thesis.
When awarding the prize for the best Bachelor's graduate, the best overall grade applies in addition to the business orientation of the degree program. In the case of equal grade point averages, the better grade in the bachelor's thesis applies. If these grades are also equal, the higher practical relevance and the possibility to implement the results of the bachelor thesis in a timely manner apply. The latter is assessed by a panel of experts. The prizes are each endowed with 500 euros .
- Consecutive Master's programs
Since 2011, a prize has been awarded for the best graduate from the consecutive Master's programs . From 2023, the best Master's thesis will also be awarded for the first time. The criteria are the same as for the bachelor's degree. The aim of these grants is to give students a special incentive to perform well and to contribute to increasing the attractiveness of the Ludwigshafen University of Applied Sciences for business and society.
The Emergency Aid Fund - assistance for foreign students
The Emergency Aid Fund provides financial support to foreign students from non-EU countries who find themselves in need through no fault of their own. The aim is to enable them to continue their studies without delay and to complete them successfully. Students must have successfully completed the first part of their studies and present a study plan that shows that they are structured and degree-oriented. As a rule, the support extends over a period of six months and can be extended for a further six months. The fund is financed solely by donations and therefore relies on broad support. The funds are used 100 percent for the benefit of the students.
