Project: Franz-W. Aumund scholarships for students of mechanical engineering
Franz-Walter Aumund initiated his agenda of professional educational support in 2009 with the establishment of the Franz-W. Aumund-Stiftung scholarship programme at Koblenz University of Applied Sciences. Since then more than 60 mechanical engineering, industrial engineering and mechatronics students have been able to graduate in Koblenz with our support, under the wing of former Head of Research and Development of AUMUND Fördertechnik, Prof. Detlev Borstell.
He not only acts as chairman of the selection committee but also mentors the scholarship recipients, organises field trips and overseas placements, and sometimes also has to give advice in challenging situations.
In 2013 Franz-Walter Aumund was appointed honorary senator of Koblenz University of Applied Sciences in recognition of his financial and ideological commitment.
