The DBU Education Fund

The Education Fund -
An Income Share Agreement (ISA)

The education fund is based on the model of an Income Share Agreement (ISA).
The redemption begins after a successful career entry with an annual minimum income. For a maximum of 10 repayment years you pay back a predefined percentage of your income. One important feature is, that the repayments by students who have graduated and are earning above the minimum income enable new students to finance their education. This cycle creates a safe funding option for new students at your university.
The "old" ones support the "new" ones. Solidarity is a built-in feature!

You sign a funding contract to finance your tuition with us.

You finish your degree program without worrying about your tuition payments. The education fund will pay the university directly.

You repay the education fund based on your actual income after you graduate and when earning an annual minimum income.

Your repayments enable a new generation of students to finance their tuition at your university through the education fund.

Study first -
Pay later

We will pay up to 100% of your tuition at DBU.

You can completely focus on your education.

The repayment period begins after your graduation.

If you receive a scholarship or grant (including BAföG), you can combine it with our funding.

IT'S YOUR DECISION -
ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE

You are free to choose a different path for yourself. Maybe you want to earn a Master degree or Ph.D.?
Do you want to see the world, take care of your family, or be self-employed?
No problem - the repayments adjust to your financial situation.

ANNUAL INCOME BELOW THE MINIMUM INCOME

25,000 Euro

If you want to earn another degree (Master, Ph.D., etc.), you do not have to repay anything as long as you earn less than the minimum income.

If you earn below the minimum income due to self-employment, part-time work, parental leave, caring for a family member, work & travel, unemployment or anything else, your payments for this year are also waived.

ANNUAL INCOME ABOVE THE MINIMUM INCOME

25,000 Euro

If your annual gross income is above the minimum income, you repay only the predetermined percentage of your income.

Upper limits for the repayment protect you from disproportionate payments.

We will never consider using the income of any of your family members.
It is only your personal income that matter to us.
