Mission & Vision
Good education determines how we master the future and whether talents can develop. The foundation is convinced that education must be accessible to all people, regardless of origin or financial background. It strives for a society in which not only the state but all members of society take responsibility to enable equal opportunities in learning. Therefore, the foundation is committed to a strong and educated community.
Target groups
The foundation's funding programs are aimed at needy pupils, students, and doctoral candidates up to the age of 30 who are enrolled or admitted at German schools or universities, cannot otherwise cover their financial needs during their education, and primarily live or study in the Berlin/Brandenburg area.
