Scholarships & Financing
Applying for our scholarships is easy - no separate application needed and you can apply directly via our online application. See below to learn more about our scholarship and funding opportunities available for both international and EU students.
Investing in your future
Your degree is an investment in your professional future. As a business school of international standing, we do not only provide you the best conditions for earning a degree, but we also offer you excellent career prospects.
Your financial situation shouldn’t be the factor that prevents you from studying at Frankfurt School. However, it is important to make sensible preparations for funding your studies. Feel free to use our advisory service and start your preparations by asking us for a personal consultation.
Frankfurt School Scholarship
We award a limited amount of scholarships in order to encourage applications from candidates of any discipline or background with an outstanding academic or business track record.
All scholarship decisions are merit-based, although financial needs may also be considered in special cases. Scholarships cover the tuition fee only and will be deducted directly from the total tuition cost.
Payment Terms
Deposit: €5,000
The remaining fees will need to be paid in regular instalments at the beginning of each semester.
Frankfurt School Alumni Discount
Frankfurt School alumni admitted to the full-time MBA programme receive an alumni discount of 10% of their studies. Please note that this amount is granted independently of possible early bird deadlines and discounts.
External Scholarships & Loans
Several German and international organisations offer competitive scholarships for outstanding students:
- German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) awards stipends to cover the cost of living for international students pursuing an academic degree programme in Germany.
- Bildungsfonds offers funding to help cover living costs, tuition fees, and other expenses during the MBA programme. Funding is available for both EU and non-EU citizens. Applicants must complete a multi-stage selection process. Part of the process is conducted in German, so at least basic German language skills are highly recommended. Engineers can apply for the specialised Festo-Bildungsfonds.
- Deutsche Bildung AG offers financial support to German and international students studying in Germany.
- Study first, pay later: the Generation Contract (GC) is an innovative model to finance your studies. The GC allows the applicant* to study at Frankfurt School without paying tuition fees during the study programme. Repayment starts after a successful career entry and after obtaining a minimum income of 30,000 EUR gross. Alumni then pay back a fixed percentage of their income over 10 years.
* The GC is available for prospective students from the following countries: Germany (and those who completed their high school education in Germany), Switzerland, Norway. Potentially also available for other EU countries, the USA and Canada. - Future Finance provides student loans for tuition fees and cost of living.
- Student loans for US citizens are available by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). These loans may be put towards tuition and living expenses. Frankfurt School is one of only four universities in Germany who have received such approval by the US Department of Education. Take advantage of this unique opportunity in Germany to fund your MBA degree at Frankfurt School.
- Private loans are available from many banks to support educational expenses. We recommend that you contact your local banks to find out what options are available.
Klaus-Peter Müller Scholarship
The Klaus-Peter Müller scholarship was introduced through the generous sponsorship from Professor Dr. h.c. Klaus-Peter Müller, chairman of Commerzbank AG and honorary chairman of the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management foundation, who donated €1 million to support full-time Masters and MBA students.
The Klaus-Peter Müller scholarship can be awarded to German full-time MBA students who are not able to self-fund their studies and have performed exceptionally well throughout their previous studies, both academically and personally.
