Information for Donors

Why donate?

Thanks to your participation in the Education Fund, we at RWTH Aachen support outstanding educated and engaged students at our university with a scholarship of €300/month for at least two semesters.

 

You finance only half of the scholarships, while the NRW Ministry of Innovation ("NRW-Stipendiumprogramm) and the Federal Ministry for Education and Research ("Deutschlandstipendium") provide the rest. This specifically means: for every €1800, with which you support us, we receive another €1800 from NRW or the Federal Ministry.  With this, we support a student for a year with a total of €3600 or €300/month.

Who receives a scholarship from the Education Fund?

The best students of a semester receive a scholarship from the RWTH Aachen Education Fund. They must show outstanding academic achievement as well as social engagement or particular subject development potential. Are you interested in meeting this young talent and supporting it? Then participate in our RWTH Aachen Education Fund!

aixigo was founded exactly ten years ago as a spin off  from RWTH Aachen. From this, we know how important an excellent education is for young talent. We would like to help young, engaged people to be able to fully concentrate on their studies and the related research projects.
