Invitation to the first RMU Scholarship Opportunities Fair on 14 May 2025
What do Elif (a student at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz), Nathalie (a student at Technical University of Darmstadt) and Camilo (a student at Goethe University Frankfurt) have in common? They not only represent the three partners of the RMU – all three of them also benefit from scholarships. Their stories reflect the many chances offered by scholarships – however, many funding opportunities are still not very well known. To change this, the RMU invites all its members to the first RMU Scholarship Opportunities Fair, which will take place on 14 May 2025 on Campus Westend of Goethe University Frankfurt.
Elif Üstüner is a student of law in Mainz, Nathalie Daum is a student of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Darmstadt and Camilo Hernandez is a student of peace and conflict research in Frankfurt (photo: Moritz Reich).
The RMU Scholarship Opportunities Fair is the starting point for a stronger focus on promoting scholarship culture in the Rhine-Main region. The aim is to inform students, researchers and university staff comprehensively about the various scholarship opportunities available, share experiences and establish new networks.
All members of the RMU community are invited to participate in the event. 28 scholarship sponsors will be present, many of them with current scholarship holders who will share their experiences with interested students. The spectrum ranges from the 13 organizations for the promotion of young talent (Begabtenförderwerke) to programs for specific target groups, such as students with a migration background and first-generation students. Luca Neuperti, award-winning science slammer, student at Goethe University Frankfurt and scholarship holder of the German Academic Scholarship Foundation, will hold an entertaining talk on the topic of "Scholarships and Self-perception" (also accessible online via live stream). The participating students also have the chance to have their application picture taken for free by a professional photographer.
