Partially funded

Studienfonds Lübeck Micro-Funding (income-contingent)

University of Lübeck, Germany

Scholarship overview

Since winter semester 2010/2011 the University of Lübeck has run the Studienfonds gGmbH, which provides micro-funding to close financing gaps during study without exposing students to a high risk of debt.

Funded students agree to an income-dependent repayment after successful graduation. The repayment depends on income and degree obtained, and repayments help fund later students. The fund is a non-profit company wholly owned by the university and is supported by foundations and companies including the Possehl Stiftung, Gemeinnützige Sparkassenstiftung zu Lübeck, Dräger-Stiftung and Rotary Club Lübeck.

This is a repayable, income-contingent support scheme rather than a grant.
