For 10 years, FH Aachen has been awarding scholarships of €300 per month to its students. In the funding year 2019/20, a total of 102 students will be supported - more than ever before. For one year, they receive not only financial support, but also insights into regional companies and the opportunity to establish their first professional contacts. Half of the funding is provided by these companies, the other half is paid by the federal government. | More information on the scholarship programme

Construction work has begun at Aachen-Merzbrück Airfield in order to convert it into a research airfield. At the ground-breaking ceremony, North Rhine-Westphalian Minister of Transport Hendrik Wüst emphasised that, in cooperation with the Aachen universities, the future of flying could now be pursued in Merzbrück. The state of NRW is supporting the project with 4 million Euros.
