The foundation Richard-Müller-Stiftung awarded 15 scholarships for study semesters abroad to the top applicants of the program. The students of the Faculty of Wiesbaden Business School of the RheinMain University of Applied Sciences will receive sholarships with a funding of up to EUR 3,000.
The students are mainly enrolled in the International Management bachelor's program which includes a curricular study semester abroad. Sholarship recipient Joanna Schorr is planning to study in Australia next year: "What a great place! It's a pretty rare opportunity to spent so much time so far away.“ Max Spiegel wants to go to South Korea, to Seoul; the Business Administration Student wants to "experience a new perspective and get to know a different culture." Other destination countries are Japan, Canada, Columbia, Malaysia, Mexiko and various European countries.
"This time, we awarded four sholarships to students from partner universities of the faculty – three students from Chile, one from Mexico – to foster international partnerships“, says Prof. Dr. Heiko Schön who was very excited about the presentation by Carolin Schneider. The International Management student spent a term in Lyon last year. She talked about her wonderful experience in France and wished all future exchange students the best of luck.
