The "NRWTalente - Region OWL" scholarship programme for committed students is entering its next round of applications. The programme is funded by the Ministry of Schools and Education of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and is run by Paderborn University together with Bielefeld University, Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences and OWL University of Applied Sciences. The aim of the programme is to open up valuable prospects for the professional and academic future of performance-oriented young people, regardless of their background or social circumstances. Applicants from all seven districts and independent cities in Ostwestfalen-Lippe (OWL) can apply until Monday, 15 June. Further information on the programme and application procedure can be found on the NRWTalente website.
Through personal and individual advice, the "NRWTalente" programme managers support the scholarship holders in identifying their interests and strengths, developing their own goals and actively planning their future. The programme focuses on both personal and professional development. In addition, not only academic performance is encouraged, but also voluntary commitment, team spirit and the willingness to take on responsibility. In addition to targeted talent development, the young people also receive non-cash benefits such as specialist books, digital devices, public transport tickets and language courses.
This year, "NRWTalente - Region OWL" is celebrating its fifth anniversary. The programme has already supported over 200 scholarship holders. For example, they have taken part in educational trips to Hamburg and Munich, a student exchange programme in Chile and various workshops.
