Deutsche Bildung Student Funding
As a social business, since 2007, Deutsche Bildung supports thousands of German students with money and the extra-curricular program WissenPlus.
About the Deutsche Bildung Student Funding
Deutsche Bildung Student Funding is the biggest student financing offer organized by the private sector of Germany.
- Since 2013, Deutsche Bildung is top ranked in national rankings like the Studienkredittest.
- Monthly, single or returning payments, guarantee a completely flexible financing for students of almost all disciplines in Germany and abroad. For current values, please check DBSF website
- The extra-curricular program WissenPlus focuses on the development of personal skills and professional competencies. A broad network of contacts to companies, universities and NGOs adds value to all granted students.
- The repayment is income-linked: granted graduates pay back a fixed amount of their future income for a certain period of time when they found their first employment. Like this, students are protected from debts and support following students. This assures a sustainable model of student financing.
The online-application is possible throughout the whole year via www.deutsche-bildung.de
