    Freedom for social entrepreneurs: Education must be independent of vested interests - and financed at the same time. Ensuring the financial independence of Witten/Herdecke University, free from vested interests, is what drives the Foundation. As the second largest shareholder in the university, the foundation guarantees the university's private self-administration. Funds from the Foundation flow into the current budget of the University or individual faculties as grants. In addition, the foundation awards direct grants for study and research scholarships, material resources as well as events and conferences at the university.
