AUMUND study scholarship programme at the TU Bergakademie Freiberg
From the winter semester 2014 / 2015, AUMUND Fördertechnik GmbH will be awarding up to four AUMUND study scholarships to students at the TU Bergakademie Freiberg each year.
AUMUND's study scholarship programme
The mechanical engineering company AUMUND was founded in 1922 by Prof. Heinrich Aumund, founder of the first German Institute for Lifting and Conveying Technology in Berlin. Three generations have built up the company, developed it further and successfully positioned it on international markets. The current Managing Partner Franz-Walter Aumund is continuing a tradition of his family by awarding scholarships - the commitment to education, science and social issues.
"My grandfather was already committed to supporting employees and students in a variety of ways. The same applies to my father Günter-Claus Aumund, who was honoured by Federal President Karl Carstens in July 1984 for his exemplary achievements in education. I am convinced that the education and upbringing of young people is the most valuable investment in the future of our society."
Franz-Walter Aumund (†)
Former Managing Partner of AUMUND Fördertechnik GmbH, Rheinberg
