In March 2020, RWTH launched the #RWTHhilft fundraising campaign together with AStA and the Rectorate since it was clear that some RWTH students would be facing financial difficulties in the summer semester due to the pandemic. The situation has not improved since then and the number of requests for a bridging scholarship at AStA is constantly increasing. Against this background, the fundraising campaign is being continued so that many applicants can continue to receive aid quickly with little bureaucracy.
Students can apply for bridging scholarships via the AStA website.
Further information about the fundraising campaign and the donation account can be found here.
