PARTNER UNIVERSITIES

The University of Mannheim is the origin of the Elite Sports Scholarship Rhine-Neckar Metropolitan Region. In 2009, the Mannheim Elite Sports Scholarship was founded at the University of Mannheim. 

A concept that is unique in terms of the scope of its support services, in order to assist top athletes in pursuing a dual career. The further development of the Elite Sports Scholarship Rhine-Neckar Metropolitan Region in 2017 resulted from the very successful concept of the Mannheim Elite Sports Scholarship for the previous eight years. Without this foundation, the expansion of the scholarship would not have been conceivable.

Heidelberg University is the first new cooperation partner to be added as part of the restructuring and expansion of the Elite Sports Scholarship Rhine-Neckar Metropolitan Region program. With the signing of the cooperation agreement, an important step has been taken. With the new partner, the selection of study programs for top athletes has already become much more diverse.

Management continuing education for top athletes:

Mannheim Business School is the new partner university of the Elite Sports Scholarship Rhine-Neckar Metropolitan Region (ESSRNMR). This means that (former) athletes can receive a study scholarship with financial and organizational support for

at the Mannheim Business School, the organizational umbrella for management training at the University of Mannheim.
