David Muuß
HHL alumnus
Receiving the Dean’s List Scholarship has aided me in multiple ways. For one, it served as a motivator to perform at my best throughout my studies. The financial freedom allowed me to focus solely on my career and academic performance. Finally, it has been a lever in placing at a top tier consulting firm and allowed me to network with professors and senior representatives from the business world.
Pauline Sofie Thill
HHL alumna
Receiving the Dean’s List Scholarship has been a great honour during my studies. Not only the large financial contribution, but also extracurriculars like attending the Dean‘s Dinner and helping create the HHL Dean‘s List community have shaped my study experience positively. Without it, I would not have achieved what I did, and I am very grateful to HHL and Stephan Stubner for this opportunity.
