Foundations support students at the Hamburg University of Music and Drama

The consequences of the corona pandemic and the associated restrictions pose major challenges for many HfMT students: Concerts, lessons and other part-time jobs to finance their studies have been canceled or are only possible to a limited extent. However, the cost of living continues. To support music students in financial need, the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation, the Dr. Rudolf and Renate Seidel Foundation and the Gisela Bartels Foundation have provided funding.

Prof. Elmar Lampson is relieved about the uncomplicated and quick help from the foundations. "The corona crisis has put many of our students in existentially threatening situations. It is a great relief to see how the aid programs of the Ernst von Siemens Music Foundation, the Seidel Foundation and the Gisela Bartels Foundation have helped many students in need. I would like to express my sincere thanks to all our supporters."

Funding is awarded via the general application for the granting of support for exceptional financial emergencies and is coordinated by the HfMT President's Office English version. Students can continue to apply for funding in the winter semester, and multiple funding is also possible if they can provide proof of financial hardship. Students whose application for support has already been approved or rejected can therefore reapply for financial support.
