Schüler:innenstipendium NRWTalente

NRWTalente is a scholarship programme for pupils in the Aachen region (StädteRegion Aachen, districts of Düren, Heinsberg and Euskirchen) that accompanies high-achieving young people of all school types from the 8th grade onwards with practical offers, regular counselling and support as well as individual talent promotion. We support our scholarship holders in discovering their potential and talent, developing it to the best of their ability and successfully shaping their own path.

Commitment, talent and willingness to perform should be able to unfold and enrich our society regardless of gender, nationality, ethnic origin, religion as well as educational biography and parents' income. NRWTalente wants to make a contribution here.
The programme has already been running successfully in the Ruhr region since 2016 and is permanently funded there by the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. The scholarship programme is unique in this form in Germany.

1. Education-related material support
   
   Workplace equipment, e.g. with a desk or a laptop, ensures an optimal learning infrastructure. Reimbursement of travel costs to educational and cultural events enables social participation. Financing stays abroad and language trips opens up new horizons.
2. Personal counselling and support
   
   Permanent and personal counselling and support by fixed contact persons in the programme helps to discover talents and develop potential. The provision of contacts and specialist counselling enables open-ended and individual planning for the future.
   
3. Ideal education programme
   
   A variety of events, workshops and excursions enable new experiences and exciting adventures. While team-building events promote a sense of community, visits to regional companies and educational institutions open up insights and pave the way for new networks and contacts.
