Financing Information
Funding and Financial Support for Exchange Students
The RWTH Aachen University Exchange Scholarships provide partial financial assistance to selected international exchange students. The amount of funding awarded varies depending on the year, the number of applicants, and the specific agreements between RWTH Aachen and its partner universities. Generally, the scholarship is intended to help cover essential expenses such as accommodation, daily living costs, and travel expenses related to the exchange period.
