commuNITy e.V. - the ALUMNI & FRIENDS ASSOCIATION OF THE NIT
The future needs people with a vision, people who harness new technologies for the benefit of humankind and the environment. Students engaged in a quest for challenges who think ahead of their time.
Support current and future NIT students by joining our alumni & friends' association commuNITy e.V. that funds and supports students' and alumni matters by
- contributing to scholarships,
- offering short-term financial support to students in times of financial need, as well as
- financially supporting community events and activities.
The commuNITy e.V. solely engages in these fields and does not fund any other NIT activities.

The OneOfUs Scholarship
At the NIT we want to give talented people from all over the world the opportunity to receive a high quality education level and the chance to study for a Master's degree in Technology Management. Donations via betterplace.org enable us to use the money for sponsorships for exactly those students who mostly profit from it and could otherwise not finance their NIT studies.

MAKE CHANGE POSSIBLE
At the NIT, we challenge the status quo and educate the future elite of technology managers. In our learning environments, students develop skills to master the challenges of fast moving environments and actively shape the world of tomorrow. They realize technological and innovative solutions that can have a positive effect on our lives and the environment and that can overcome current problems.
We would like to provide our students with the needed know-how and mindset to thrive.
Therefore, we kindly invite you to support us in doing so.
Through your single or regular contribution, you encourage and empower these young talents to realize their potentials in a truely intercultural community.
We think holistically which is why maintaining and extending our network across borders and continents is most important for us. We keep in close contact with our students and alumni, research partners, foundations, university experts, enterprises, and renowned professionals.
