Description
The Rudolph Lohff Foundation specifically supports young people without a high school diploma in the Hamburg area through regular grants for their academic education. The focus is on students of the Social Economics department at the University of Hamburg, HAW Hamburg, as well as participants of state evening high schools aiming to obtain their secondary school leaving certificate retrospectively. The foundation particularly assists individuals in exceptional financial hardship whose livelihood is secured at the subsistence level and who demonstrate outstanding academic performance. Funding is primarily awarded within the framework of the Germany Scholarship, although direct applications are possible at any time. The primary funding objective is to provide underprivileged non-high school graduates access to qualified higher education and thereby strengthen their professional prospects.
Eligible for funding are private individuals up to the age of 35 without a high school diploma who have already been employed and are currently enrolled in a relevant degree program or evening high school. Evaluation criteria include good academic performance, social hardship, and the necessity of a grant. Applications require a completed application form as well as proof of financial situation, enrollment, previous academic achievements, and certificates. There are no fixed deadlines – funding requests can be submitted to the board of the Rudolph Lohff Foundation on an ongoing basis. The independent selection process guarantees a straightforward and transparent procedure that quickly provides financial relief and promotes equal opportunities in education.
