The Matching Challenge Goes Into the Second Round
The Deutschlandstipendium at RWTH
In the middle of last year, the Education Fund invited all RWTH alums to participate in a Matching Challenge. The goal was to reach a target of 18,000 euros with the donations collected. In the end, this sum was actually exceeded by more than 12,000 euros so that 27 additional Deutschlandstipendium scholarships could be awarded. More detailed information can be found in the last “keep in touch” issue.
The RWTH Education Fund sees this overwhelming feedback through both donations and positive comments as an endorsement of the matching principle. Another Challenge is now planned for the 2023/2024 funding period, which starts this October.
The Matching Challenge Continues
New this year: The number of Matching Partners is to be increased from two to three, and the donation target for alumni is also to be raised to 27,000 euros so that each Matching Partner doubles this amount. A total of 108,000 euros is thus our target for the next funding period so we can grant 30 additional scholarships to excellently trained and committed students.
Everyone can contribute to achieving the Challenge goal. We received donations of between one and 3,600 euros last year. The average donation amount was 107 euros. We welcome any contribution to the Challenge.
