Directions for student loans

Students who follow an anthroposophical vocational training we are associated with can apply for an interest free loan, until they reach the age of 40, in order to finance their education.
Students who want to follow an Eurythmy education we can only help until their 35th birthyear.

Our student loans are specifically meant for those who do not receive sufficient financial aid from their parents, family, friends, acquaintances and student funds and who are not able to work enough hours to obtain an adequate income.

For practical reasons we only support educations within Europe.

In principal we do not offer financial aid for a training year that has already started.
Applications should reach us at least two months before the training starts and holidays in July and August should be considered.

Interest free loans can be provided:
-from the second year on (we consider the first year as a probationary year);
-for a first anthroposohical vocational training;
-when we have conficence in the motivation and talent of the student for the chosen education.

After we have received a written application we will invite the student for a personal interview.
