The foundation was established in 1977 to mark the 40th anniversary of Andreas Jepsen, then CEO of Danfoss. The foundation carried his name until 2003 when it merged with two similar foundations under the new name, the Danfoss Foundation for Education.
The purpose of the Foundation is to ensure that future generations of the extended Danfoss family have the education they need by providing financial support for:
Scholarships are primarily granted to students for higher educations that match Danfoss’ core competencies and business processes. Minimum requirements are full-time studies at Bachelor level with unpaid trainee periods, if any. Students must have completed their first year of studying before applying.
To be eligible for a scholarship, at least one of the student’s parents must be employed within the Danfoss Group – or have been employed for a long period within recent years. As a rule of thumb, the parent must have been employed for a longer period than he or she has been away from Danfoss.
An applicant may also be eligible for a scholarship based on his or her own employment for at least one year. Studies must begin no later than one year after the applicant has left Danfoss.
The foundation’s board of directors has three members – each appointed for a period of three years – who meet three times a year to consider applications received. The current members of the board are:
