proRWTH Aachen

"Sponsor, honor, network!" is the motto of proRWTH - the Association of Friends and Supporters of RWTH Aachen University. More than 1,100 dedicated companies and private individuals support our goals with their membership contributions and donations. For them, helping RWTH Aachen University to retain its position as a leading university of the world is a rewarding and fulfilling mission. This mission is implemented by the proRWTH Association in the form of grants for research projects, international and interdisciplinary conferences, and honoring and sponsoring of outstanding graduates. Additionally, because proRWTH is a network of alumni, friends, and supporters of the University, it serves as a platform for the successful exchanging of technology, knowledge, and ideas between RWTH Aachen University, the industry, and the public.

ProRWTH has also recently started to focus on emerging young academics of RWTH Aachen University. Since the winter semester 2009/2010, it has awarded scholarships to the most promising students via the Education Fund of RWTH Aachen University.
