“Receiving the Germany Scholarship feels like a recognition of my achievements and hard work as a student. This support makes me financially independent to some extent and thus I have the opportunity to engage in extracurricular activities. Thanks to the great accompanying program I can educate myself beyond the classroom and get in touch with companies and fellow students.”

Judith Berens, MAN Diesel & Turbo SE Scholarship Recipient

“The Education Fund scholarship has helped me in many ways. First, I learnt a lot outside of my studies due to the many workshops and lectures. At these events, many committed students from different fields came together, and the exchange of ideas and experience has expanded my horizons. But most importantly, I got in touch with the donors: in the first semesters of study, you don’t have many opportunities to network with companies who are willing to invest time and money in the personal development of students. For this reason, the contact I made with the help of the Education Fund are very important to me, in particular when it comes to arranging internships or entering the job market.”

Felix Berief, Stipendiat Hans Hermann Voss-Stiftung

“Beyond the financial support, the RWTH Education Fund offers a generous framework program which includes interesting educational events, such as seminars and excursions.”

Markus Spiertz, Stipendiat Evonik Stiftung

“The RWTH Education Fund is a great initiative, offering students new perspectives and opportunities. During my Bachelor’s, I had to work part-time, so I did not have the time for extracurricular activities. Through the generous support from the Education Fund, I can participate in student projects and make focus more on the educational opportunities provided by the university. I am also looking forward to participating in the framework program. It’s a great opportunity to make contacts with other scholarship recipients and together learn more about the world of business and industry.”

Christian Mänken, MAN Diesel & Turbo SE Scholarship Recipient

“I see the scholarship from the Education Fund as a confirmation of my choice of career path; it is a recognition of my academic achievements. It makes me more independent and gives me motivation for future tasks. I look forward to all the opportunities provided by the dialogue and exchange with students, companies, and the university. I would like to say ‘thank you’ for having this opportunity.”

Liliane Manny, Ruhrverband Scholarship Recipient

“The support from the Education Fund makes it possible for me to fully concentrate on my studies and my volunteer activities.”
