education

Please note: for the time being we have decided to review our policy concerning our grants. For years we have been able to support students from our educational fund. Since this fund is nearly exhausted we are bound to look for new benefactors. A fresh impulse from donors who take the education of young anthroposophical students to heart is necessary.

Practically this means that new applications from students will not be taken into account. Students who have already received support for the previous year of their ongoing education can apply for (part of) the school fee of the school year 2023-2024.

Before you apply via our online application system, please read our manual.

For a student the choice for a full time anthroposophical vocational training is an important and very personal matter. Often it means the start of a new life.

The support we offer is for (part of) the school fee of educational institutes in Europe with whom we are associated. You can find the list on this page.

evaluation

We require an evaluation at the end of each academic year. For the student this is a moment of reflection and, of course, we are interested in your personal findings.

You submit the evaluation through your online portal

We offer you the following guidelines:

  • how do you look back on the past school year? What were the highlights; were there any difficulties?
  • Does the education live up to your expectations?
  • If your education is not finished: are you planning to subscribe for the following year?
  • If you have finalized your education, please let us know that you have graduated.
  • What are your plans for the future and how will your education be of use in this?

You can upload your evaluation via your project page in our online system.
