Equal Opportunity Programme – Empowering a student’s dream

As members of the UM community, we all understand how transformative education can be. Yet, for many talented young people, access to higher education remains far from guaranteed. Just like last year, we would like to shine a spotlight on the Equal Opportunity Programme, which provides scholarships to students facing financial or social barriers — giving them the chance to study, grow, and shape their future.

During the event, we invite all German Alumni Circles to help us spread the word by sharing this initiative within your own networks. Your support can help open doors for the next generation.

Please click HERE to access the link to the UM Crowd project. Each Alumni Circle has its own dedicated team page to make contributing and encouraging kind donations easier. All German alumni events in December will contribute to this cause. Together with the Alumni Circles in Cologne, Frankfurt, Munich, Dusseldorf and Berlin, we aim to raise as much support as possible.

You will have the opportunity to donate via a QR code at the event. Any contribution, big or small, will be greatly appreciated.

 

Important note:

If you have registered, we count on your presence. If you are no longer able to attend, please de-register via the confirmation mail you received through Aanmelder or let us know via alumni@maastrichtuniversity.nl.

We look forward to seeing you on 18 December!

Best regards,

UM Alumni Office & The Düsseldorf UM Alumni organizing committee:

Hendrik Stiefl, Thilo Schmitz, Rolf Martin Blume, Mike Batra, Alexander Fischer & Erik Günther

PS. All registered alumni living and working in Dusseldorf are invited. Unfortunately, we do not have contact information of all alumni who live there. If you know about other alumni who have not yet received an invitation, please let them and us know. Obviously, they are very welcome. They can also update their data through this link to not miss out on future events.
