From the outset, it is an important concern of the Hochschulstiftung to involve the students in the decision-making process regarding the use of the funds. Students therefore have a voice in the foundation's governing bodies, the Board of Trustees and the Executive Board.
Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees, half of whose members are students of the South Westphalia University of Applied Sciences, advises the Executive Board on the realisation of the Foundation's objectives, in particular on the preparation of guidelines for the awarding of scholarships and on the determination of the annual focus.
