Scholarship program

The FH Aachen has been awarding scholarships since the winter semester 2009/10. These should make it easier for high-performing students to study quickly and in a concentrated manner. The monthly financial grant, which runs for one year, from the scholarship program is intended to contribute to this goal. Another focus is on the early networking of students with the regional economy. Half of a scholarship is provided by private sponsors and half by the federal program "Deutschlandstipendien".

The scholarships are merit scholarships and are awarded to students whose previous career suggests particularly good academic achievements. In addition to the previous academic achievements, non-professional engagement and information on personal and family background are included in the assessment with a 20% weighting and must be proven if the decision is positive. The awarding of the scholarships also depends on the wishes of the private sponsors with regard to the subject area, course / specialization and number of semesters.

The formal requirement for the award of the scholarship is enrollment at the FH Aachen as a regular student. In addition, people who are about to start studying at the FH Aachen can apply. H. want to start studying at the FH Aachen in the winter semester but are not yet enrolled. Applicants should be within the standard period of study at the time the scholarship is awarded and should be enrolled for at least two semesters.
