The concept of an education fund or reverse intergenerational contract refers to a model that gives students the opportunity to make a financial contribution to their studies only after they have completed their studies. During their studies, tuition fees are covered in whole or in part by money from the education fund. After completing their studies, a salary-dependent repayment is made if a fixed basic income is reached. The repayment is used to finance the studies of the “next generation”.
EBS Education Fund (Brain Capital GmbH)
The EBS Education Fund is based on the Reverse Generation Contract (German: Umgekehrter Generationenvertrag, short UGV) model and is a solidarity-based financing concept. Here, tuition fees are financed downstream and depend on income. Everyone can study at EBS without the financial burden of tuition fees, regardless of their financial background.
The key feature is that students use their repayments to enable new students to study after graduation and once they have reached the minimum income level. This cycle ensures secure financing for new students at EBS University.Study first – pay later: This is how it works:
After signing a sponsorship agreement with Brain Capital, you can study without worrying about tuition fees. These are paid directly from the education fund to EBS University.
Only when you start your career, and only if you exceed a minimum income of 30,000 euros, do you pay back the percentage of income specified in the sponsorship contract as downstream tuition fees for a maximum of 10 payment years. The model offers every freedom in life planning. Payments adjust to personal career and ability to pay.
Requirements for your application:
Admission to study at EBS (Bachelor’s, Law, Master’s and MBA).
EU citizens

As a social business for financing studies, Deutsche Bildung has been enabling students of all disciplines to study (also abroad) via a study fund since 2007. In contrast to a student loan, graduates pay back a portion of their income at a later date without the risk of over-indebtedness.

Equal opportunities should not be a question of financial means because high potentials are not only to find in high-income households. Studying at EBS University is an investment in your future. However, because your proficiency and performance are the only things that count, we have established several financing and funding opportunities for us. This will enable any suitably qualified applicant to receive the best possible education. In addition, companies are often on the lookout for precisely these exceptional talents and therefore provide targeted support at universities through scholarships and other financial assistance. In this respect, the EBS University concept is compelling: several foundations and companies are particularly interested in championing students of EBS University.
The EBS Scholarship is designed to support and encourage emerging talents who have the drive, ambition and determination to excel, demonstrated through academic excellence or other achievements. Through this scholarship opportunity, we aim to provide particularly individuals from diverse and disadvantaged economic backgrounds with the financial resources necessary to cultivate their leadership potential.

A safe investment
Conventional student financing
Someone who is not successful in winning a scholarship or needs to finance a part of the study fees can draw on a student loan. The conditions for repayment can vary greatly, depending on the provider, and the lenders’ offers are diverse and numerous; it is worth making detailed comparisons.
Bafög
The state education grant is characterised by very good terms and conditions. The state grants one half of the money as an interest-free loan, the other half is paid as a grant not requiring repayment. However, only students who do not exceed certain capital and income limits qualify for BAföG.

The KfW is a full loan with incurred interest, however substantially below market level.
As opposed to a BAföG grant, neither the applicant’s nor the parents’ income and capital play a role. Also, as far as age is concerned, the KfW is more generous, supporting students between 18 and 44 and even when they exceed the standard period of study. The study loan offer can be requested from the respective sales partners of the KfW bank group.
The German bank Nassauische Sparkasse offers EBS students a funding model with preferential rates.
