How do I apply for the Festo Education Fund?
Applications can be submitted online at any time. Applicants create an application profile and upload their application documents. The application is first evaluated with regard to professional, academic and personal factors. If this is positive, an online assessment center and a telephone interview follow. If this part is also successfully completed, the applicant receives two individual financing and repayment offers with different terms and can choose the most suitable option.

Financing modalities
The maximum funding amount is 40,000 euros and can be used for all direct or indirect study-related expenses. The maximum financing period is 48 months. Repayment to the Festo Education Fund is income-dependent and begins with proof of a permanent job. The participant pays back a fixed percentage of his/her gross income over a fixed period of time. The amount of the percentage is between 4 and 10 % and depends on the funding period and the amount of funding. The repayment period is usually between 4 and 7 years.

More than just student financing: Bildungsplus and network
The education fund offers all sponsored students a network of companies and universities for the exchange of practical experience and the development of contacts. These medium-sized companies, mostly market and technology leaders, offer excursions, dissertations and internships. In addition, participants can gain free qualifications in areas such as personal development or career advancement alongside their studies.

Outstanding social commitment
The Festo Education Fund was founded in 2007 on the initiative of the shareholders of Festo AG & Co. KG. Festo defined the concept of a company education fund as part of its self-defined corporate educational responsibility and has since made 10 million euros available for this purpose. The Festo Education Fund is the first and only corporate education fund with social responsibility in Germany. It was awarded the "TOP Innovator" award in 2012 and the DIHK initiative prize in 2008.
