As a result of the negotiations, agreements were reached on the possibility of financial assistance from the Foundation and the community of Neuss, namely to cover the tuition fees of contract students of the State Tax University whose families have suffered great losses as a result of the occupier's military actions. The members of the Foundation are ready to take over the debt and continue paying for the students' education until they graduate.
Assistance from the Foundation is available in the following forms: one-time, throughout the year, and until the end of the term of study.
