What Our Scholarship Recipients Say
“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
