Hardship scholarship for students in financial need

Posted on by

Have you heard about the hardship scholarship of the Stura?

The student representation financially supports students that are confronted to a hard financial situation. They ask us to share the following information:

Dear Students,

the corona pandemic is a challenge for all of us. Many of you might loose their jobs or cannot be supported by their parents anymore in case they loose parts of their income due to corona. We do not want anybody to drop out of university due to financial reasons. That is why we want to remind you of the option to apply for a hardship scholarship. This is a special scholarship to prevent students in financial trouble from dropping out of university. Please send applications to haertefallkommission@stura.uni-heidelberg.de. Here you will find information on all the documents we need: https://www.stura.uni-heidelberg.de/angebote/info/hardship-scholarship/ (english). Currently applications can only be submitted via e-mail. This scholarship is an offer to all students in financial need including refugees and students from abroad.

Stay safe!

During the Office Hours students are available to answer your questions and support you with your studies.

However, please write an email to avoid a crowded students council room. Furthermore, bring your face mask and obey the additional hygiene rules displayed at the entrance of the Mathematikon.

 

Limited access to the student council room

Posted on by

Due to circumstances presented by the coronavirus, our student council room is only accessible within limits. To allow for normal operation and the distribution of old exam papers in particular, we have created a Doodle to display all the timeslots we can manage and operate.

Please choose a free timeslot and arrive on time to ensure limited (to no) contact with previous or following students. Don’t forget your PPE to reduce risk of infection for us and yourself. If no slot is available, we are fully booked – do not worry though, new timeslots are added regularly.

If you have time to help out us and other students, you can gladly contact us and help out with exam distribution as a volunteer.

Dear fellow students,

the deans and deans of studies of our faculties recently wrote e-mails informing about the current situation concerning the state of teaching in the summer semester.

The Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science published the e-mails on the start page of the faculty homepage.

Unfortunately the e-mails by the physics-dean of studies have not been published on the faculty homepage. As not all our students have received these mails you can find them here:
