Funding for New Construction and Renovation Measures of Salzburg Private Schools

The state funding for new constructions, conversions, and renovations of private schools in Salzburg aims to sustainably secure and further develop the diverse educational offerings in the federal state. Operators of educational institutions can receive financial support in the form of a direct grant, where the costs are shared equally by the federal government, the state of Salzburg, and the school operator. All expenses related to new construction, conversion, or renovation measures are eligible for funding, including planning and construction supervision costs. The funding is available indefinitely from January 1, 2023, and can be applied for at any time by all private school operators in Salzburg.

A prerequisite for granting the funding is a fully completed funding application to the state of Salzburg, including the attachments required by the General Funding Guidelines. Eligible costs include new construction, conversion, and renovation expenses, including fees for planning and construction supervision. The funding rate amounts to 33% of the eligible expenses. Applications can be submitted continuously without fixed deadlines; this allows for flexible project planning throughout the year. For final accounting, proof of use must be submitted, documenting all income and expenses. Operators thus benefit from a reliable financing partnership between the federal government and the state and can realize their construction projects without long waiting times.
