Nassau Central Study Fund
The Nassau Central Study Fund is a public law foundation . The state supervision takes the Hessian Ministry true. The Foundation supports education in Hesse on the territory of the former Duchy of Nassau and awards, among other scholarships . Around € 750,000 can be distributed each year. Today, the fund's assets essentially consist of agricultural and forestry land as well as some plots of land with buildings.
The foundation was created in 1817 by a decree by Duke Wilhelm I. For this purpose, 15 previously independent school funds and foundations for public education were combined.

The summary took place across denominations, i. H. Catholic and Protestant funds were merged. This was in connection with the introduction of the simultaneous school in the same Nassau school edict. In 1844 the income from the fund amounted to 57,000 guilders , of which about 10,000 guilders came from former Catholic funds.
The income from the fund and additional budget funds made up the duchy's school budget. From these funds, among other things, the scholarships were paid to the students who studied at the University of Göttingen in accordance with the state treaty concluded with the Kingdom of Hanover on October 28, 1817 (see also Nassauer ).
The Nassau Central Study Fund provides today:
- Grants at grammar schools and comprehensive schools for the procurement of equipment to improve the quality of teaching (currently € 500,000 annually)
- Granting of scholarships to students born on the territory of the former Duchy of Nassau
- Reimbursement of boarding costs for (Nassau) students at the " Schloss Hansenberg " boarding school in Geisenheim
- Construction maintenance of certain Protestant rectories and church buildings
