If you’re planning training, studies, a course, or any other form of education (excluding first-cycle and third-cycle studies) in the near future, we have good news for you. Starting this fall, we’re launching a pilot program of interest-free loans up to PLN 100,000 – free of charge, with the option to write off up to a quarter of the entire amount. The “Loans for Education” project is an innovative, pilot loan fund implemented by the FFW in partnership with the Regional Development Agency in Starachowice (project leader).
The aim of the project is to operationalize and test a demand-driven, repayable assistance instrument enabling the improvement of competencies or qualifications for at least 3,600 adults residing in Poland. The fund will provide 4,000 loans to finance postgraduate studies, training, and other possible forms of improving qualifications and professional competencies. The projects can be offered by both domestic and foreign entities, and their duration cannot exceed two years.
The project will be implemented under Measure 4.1 Social Innovation of the Knowledge Education Development Operational Programme. Its value is PLN 22 million, and the planned implementation period is June 2017–May 2020.
