This year again, students of the Human Resources Studies Department were awarded the Deutschlandstipendium: Ms. Vivienne Hesser and Mr. Oliver Lorenz. Ms. Hesser is a student of the bachelor program B.Sc. International Personnel Management and Organization IPO in the 1st semester. Mr. Lorenz moved to Ludwigshafen from Regensburg this semester and is studying in the Master's program M.Sc. International Human Resources Management.
During an academic ceremony on November 21, the president of the university, Prof. Dr. Peter Mudra, awarded a total of 14 scholarships to students of the university. Among them were students from the Neustadt/Weinstrasse Viticulture Campus of HWG Ludwigshafen. The scholarship recipients were selected from an applicant field of 106 students according to criteria of academic achievement, social/diversity and social/university commitment. The Deutschlandstipendium is awarded only once a year.
The Germany Scholarships are a joint financial support measure of the Federal Ministry of Education and Science and private sponsors. The number of possible scholarships per university is limited in order to emphasize the special selection character. The private sponsor of the two HR students is HR-Consulting GmbH for the duration of at least 2 semesters.
In the presence and participation of sponsors, the president of the university presented each of the scholarship holders with a joint certificate from the Federal Ministry of Education and the university, as well as a surprise bag.
The Human Resource Management Department was represented by the head of the program at the award ceremony for its HR students and personally extended the congratulations of the entire "HR Department" to the new scholarship recipients from IPO and IHRM, respectively. Both scholarship recipients gave a short speech thanking the department for the award and explaining how the scholarship helps them to better manage the balance between studying on the one hand and jobbing on the other hand.
The HR Department motivates talented students from IPO and IHRM to self-confidently actively apply for scholarships such as the D-scholarship or the scholarships of the major organizations for the promotion of gifted students (e.g. Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes, Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung, Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung).
