Everyone can have a financial emergency at one time or another. Due to illness, unpredictable events, or bureaucratic hurdles in foreigners' law, you suddenly find yourself unable to pay the rent or an urgent flight home. This is where the Solidarity Fund helps all students and doctoral students, and in particular the fellows and former fellows of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom. The Solidarity Fund was founded in 2002 as the "Solidarity Fund for Students and Graduates" by the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom (FNF) and the Association of Fellows and Former Fellows (VSA) and is recognized as a non-profit organization.
