This year we raffled off our allmaxx scholarship again and were able to make one of you particularly happy: we will give you €400 into your account every month for half a year.
The lot fell to Leonhard from Datteln. He was so nice and was available to answer a few questions.
What do you study?
German and history to become a teacher.
Where do you study?
Ruhr-University Bochum.
How many semesters are you in?
6th semester, shortly before the bachelor's thesis.
What are you doing with the money? Splurge or save?
I'll save some of it for a rainy day, but I'll also spend some of it on things that I've wanted for a while but could never afford. :)
How do you finance your studies? Parents, part-time job, student loans, etc.?
I currently have a part-time job in restaurants and retail. I also receive child benefit.
Will our 6-month scholarship help you advance, e.g. work less during exams, etc.?
Yes definitely! I can now fully concentrate on my upcoming bachelor’s thesis. I now have a lot more time for this because I don't have to go to work all the time. So thank you very much!
What will you treat yourself to first from our scholarship?
New clothes, maybe a weekend trip. But I will definitely use most of it for everyday life and work fewer hours in the café where I currently work.
And finally: how did you become aware of our allmaxx scholarship?
A friend of mine has often won free magazines from you and he brought this to my attention. I then simply took part and couldn't believe that I was actually winning something.
Many thanks to Leonhard for taking a moment to answer our questions. Also, congratulations on winning and happy spending/saving! Your allmaxx team
