Paula Seipel Scholarship by EBS Universität

 

Paula Seipel Scholarship by EBS Universität The story behind the Paula Seipel scholarship In January 2012, our student Paula Seipel suddenly passed away. She was in her 6th semester of the Bachelor in General Management and was just writing on her final paper when she left us unexpectedly and too soon. Paula was a talented student and a very popular member of the EBS community. She was always very cheerful, positive-minded and full of joie de vivre and was very engaged for other people and society. Her social work for a school and kindergarden in Accra/Ghana, immediately after she had finished high school, her commitment to the student´s association “Studenten Helfen” and her voluntary support of the Lebenshilfewerk demonstrated her altruistic dedication. In commemoration of Paula Seipel, EBS funded a scholarship, which was offered for the first time to the Bachelor students (full-time) of intake 2012. Who can be awarded the Paula Seipel scholarship? The scholarship will be awarded to an academically talented, young woman who has been strongly committed to social and societal engagement before entering EBS Universität für Wirtschaft und Recht The scholarship is awarded to one Bachelor student per year. What are the key elements of the Paula Seipel scholarship? EBS Universität für Wirtschaft und Recht awards one gold scholarship (75 % of the study fees) for the first academic year at EBS. The scholarship will be prolonged year by year if the student upholds her social and societal engagement and if she performs on an high academic level (GPA > 75 %). Social commitment at EBS and also her engagement in the context of Socio-Cultural-Impact projects will be taken in to consideration, as will be any other extra-curricular activities. The decision on the annual prolongation is made by the Dean of EBS Universität für Wirtschaft und Recht on the basis of the recommendation of the Dean´s Awards committee. The student is expected to present her social activities at various events at EBS as well as on the EBS homepage.
