The Fondation Schleich-Lentz was created by Mrs Antoinette Schleich-Lentz, a Luxembourgish lady, with the aim to support university students by providing them with quality housing in the center of Luxembourg city. The founder was convinced of the importance for students to have access to decent housing in order to be able to perform at their best during the time of their university studies. Following her decease, the foundation, which was created as a dormant foundation, became active through the transformation of her own home into student housing.

The Fondation Schleich-Lentz also supports artists working with ceramics and archeologists in Luxembourg, by distributing grants.
