Let’s try to exceed last year's record amount (€ 17.120,00) and collect as much money as possible for our charity: financing at least 2 scholarships for talented young people who do not have enough financial resources to study at Erasmus University Rotterdam!
The Erasmus Charity Run is a special part of the official Rotterdam Marathon. Participants may run the 10.55-kilometre marathon or the 42.195-kilometre marathon. Students, academics and staff may join the Erasmus Charity Run of Erasmus University Rotterdam. An unforgettable experience, and for a good cause.
The Erasmus Charity Run is a great example of an initiative of Erasmus University that aims to create social impact. Runners at the Charity Run raise funds for scholarships. This way, talented but disadvantaged students are enabled to pursue academic studies.
Run for scholarships
Together, we donate our time and energy to raise money for as many scholarships as possible. These scholarships are intended for candidates who have great potential but have less chance of following a study due to their background. Each scholarship amounts to € 15.000, with which students can pay their expenses for living, traveling and books. In most programs, recipients of the scholarship do not have to pay an institute fee and only pay the statutory tuition fees, their visa and insurance. This way, the Erasmus University Rotterdam and Erasmus Trustfonds offers scholarships that give talented students opportunities.
Last year, we raised € 17.120,00, a record, will you help us to double the amount this year, and make dreams come true? Register for the Erasmus Charity Run or donate via the link here.
