Internal scholarship

Our school awards a number of scholarships to deserving students. The criteria for obtaining a scholarship are as follows:

Having already completed at least one year at our school;
Respecting the rules of good conduct: behaviour, commitment to your work and to school life, punctuality, etc.
Submitting a complete application on time.

The School notifies students when applications open and of the deadline. A committee then meets to decide on the award of scholarships for the following school year.

The scholarship awarded is not paid to the student in cash. The award of the scholarship by the committee is notified to the student, and the amount awarded will be deducted from the tuition fees for the coming year. A student may apply every year.
