Financing
Half of the costs are covered by private individuals, companies, endowments, associations, and organizations. The other half is covered through funds from the NRW state government ("NRW-Stipendienprogramm") and the federal government ("Deutschlandstipendium"). In addition to financial support, individual scholarships offer an ideal value, if the sponsor imbeds the scholarship in an accompanying program. Numerous sponsors desire personal contact as well as regular communication with their scholarship recipients.

Goals
The RWTH Aachen Education Fund wants to improve your study conditions and reward you for your achievements and involvement – if you would also like to profit from the Education Fund and are ready to establish contact with your sponsor, then apply for our next funding period!
For me, the education fund means recognition and appreciation of my involvement and achievements in my studies. The financial support made a stay in the USA possible. For me it is the right way for economy and private sponsors to be involved in the education of talented students. RWTH is ready for the future with its many sponsors and supporters! I am proud and thankful to be a part of it!
Gero Corman, Scholarship recipient 2010/2011
The NRW Education Fund Scholarship made it possible for me to spend time in Dublin, which I could only have afforded with the help of a scholarship. Additionally, I have established good contact with my sponsor and have already for there for a while.
Ricarda Jüsten, Scholarship recipient 2010/2011
Through this financial support, I can concentrate more on my studies, since I don't have to worry as much about covering the costs of my studies. I also appreciate this support for the many possibilities it opens up to me, to develop personally (for example through seminars) or as a result, to pick up practical knowledge (for example through excursions).
Oliver Stypa, Scholarship recipient 2010/2011
Thanks to my scholarship, I don't have to work on the side anymore and can completely focus on my studies. Thank you!
