StudentLoan from Sparkasse Bodensee

Sparkasse Bodensee will finance study fees for students at a significantly reduced interest rate - currently 3.5 percent. They rely on the comprehensive selection process of Zeppelin University and forgo the usual credit rating assessment and security deposits. They arrange a customized repayment plan that starts one year after entering into professional life. Further degrees or doctoral programs are included in the model. In this way, after going through the ZU selection process, any student that is accepted to study can begin studying, even without the financial involvement of their parents. Approximately 65 percent of the students take advantage of this model.

“I arranged to have my study fees financed in advance using the Sparkasse Student Loan. I began monthly repayments when I started my professional career with Saatchi & Saatchi and have completely finished paying back interest and principal after only three years.”
Inken Dachsel, Account Director at Saatchi & Saatchi, Berlin, & Bachelor in CCM graduate

Scholarships for Bachelor programs

Zeppelin University grants full and partial scholarships each year. The scholarships are donated by partners and supporters of the university, such as the Vodafone Chance Scholarship, the State of Baden-Württemberg Scholarship and the Germany Scholarship. We also help any interested students to apply for scholarships offered by the Foundation for Gifted Students.
