The Lufthansa Group promotion Program

Training without equity

Pilot trainings worldwide require a great deal of material, effort, and money to be spent. Lufthansa Group places great emphasis on training quality and on offering attractive financing conditions. At the same time, we are aware that the cost of the training is a major hurdle for many people who are not able to rely on financial support from their family or parents. A family’s financial background should not be the deciding criterion for your career choice – it is our desire to attract the best talent with diverse backgrounds.
That's why we have developed a Lufthansa Group promotion program to provide further assistance in financing your pilot training.

The promotion program of the Lufthansa Group: overview

The promotion program is intended for talented applicants who are unable to finance the pilot training at the European Flight Academy out of pocket even with the help of family members. Financial need is determined based on eligibility for the maximum BAföG funding amount. Besides the required notice of assessment of eligibility for educational aid pursuant to the Bundesausbildungsförderungsgesetz (BAföG, German Federal Law on Educational Support), additional proofs of need are optional. You can find all proofs of need in the list available for download.

Persons in need of aid who are not eligible for educational aid pursuant to the Bundesausbildungsförderungsgesetz (BAföG, German Federal Law on Educational Support) may also apply to the promotion program provided they meet all requirements for applying to the training at European Flight Academy are met. In this case, instead of the BAföG notification, a self-disclosure form must be completed, which can be requested via email at info@european-flight-academy.com.

Funding share:
The funding share consists of the assumption of costs of the own contribution by EFA in the case of funding by Brain Capital: currently 10,000 euros

How can I apply?
The application along with the DLR certificate is to be submitted via the EFA website, taking into account the regular application requirements. To be considered for the LH Group promotion program, you must confirm in the application form that you meet the requirements for the LH Group promotion program. Where the LH Group assessment is completed successfully, a qualified department of Lufthansa Group will review whether the eligibility requirements have been met. Applicants must submit the relevant documents to the EFA on their own initiative before signing the contract.

Number of scholarships
Up to 10 scholarships are awarded each year. Applications are collected, and scholarships are awarded on a quarterly basis. Applicants selected for the LH Group promotion program must commence with the training within 6 months of being allocated a place.
