Financial support for students Vesalius College
Franz Bingen is Emeritus Prof. Dr. Mathematics at the VUB and founder of the English-language Vesalius College. His wife Andrée Bingen was a biology teacher at the Atheneum Royal of Nivelles. She worked energetically behind the scenes for Vesalius College.
Andrée considered it unfair that students of Vesalius College with financial difficulties were not given equal opportunities. The Andrée and Franz Bingen Fund was established for this reason. The Fund has guaranteed the awarding of prizes and scholarships since the year 2000.
