SUPPORT OF EDUCATION AND TRAINING

“Well trained young people are the motor of society” was one of Franz-Walter Aumund’s firm beliefs, which is why funding of training and education has been one of the focal points of his philanthropic commitment from the beginning. This is underpinned in particular by the awarding of scholarships.

The selection of the young recipients is not only based on good results, but financial need and social commitment are also important criteria. In Germany the Aumund Foundation mainly supports the next generation of young engineers at its partner universities. Overseas it places its focus on one of the favourite projects of the Founder, the awarding of scholarships to schools belonging to the international Round Square Network. The holistic mindset which manifests itself in the six IDEALS of the schools reflects what the Founder considered crucial for responsible future professionals and managers:

Internationalism – Democracy – Environmentalism – Adventure – Leadership – Service.
