Give to... disadvantaged students

Unfortunately, not everyone who wants to is able to go to university, and the corona crisis has only deepened existing  inequalities. Research shows that aspiring first-generation students - young people who would be the first in their family to go to university - are often hindered by various social and financial obstacles. The University Fund Limburg/SWOL wants to offer grants to help such students study in Maastricht. Will you help us make dreams come true?

About project owner Jo Ritzen
All donations contribute to the Jo Ritzen scholarship, which is intended for talented first generation students who wish to study at Maastricht University. ''In this way, we can make sure that everyone gets an equal chance to study,'' says initiator and Professor Jo Ritzen (r. in picture). Aylin Güney (l. in picture) received this year's scholarship. She is very happy with it: ''This scholarship allows me to focus on my goals and to forge my path!''
