FEES, SCHOLARSHIPS & FINANCIAL AID

Find the Tuition and Boarding Fees for the entry year 2025 – 2026 here.

At The Global College we aim to build a community of highly talented and diverse students from all over the world. To this end, we offer a Merit-only Scholarship Program that celebrates achievement and potential, and a Financial Aid Program that foster access and diversity. Both programs are open for new students (both local and international, day and boarding candidates) entering our IB Diploma Programme each year.

Our Merit-Only Scholarship Program

We believe The Global College has much to offer students of outstanding ability and promise who have high aspirations for their future and the potential to make a significant contribution to the life of the school, our community, and beyond. Our scholars bring distinction and commitment to our school through their achievements, and we expect them to be role models to their peers and to act as ambassadors for The Global College.

All our scholarships are awarded purely on merit basis, through a highly competitive process, and without consideration of a family’s financial circumstances.

While scholarships are financial awards – worth 3,000€ per year of the tuition fees of the IB Diploma Programme, they serve primarily as a recognition of exceptional ability, performance, and/or potential. They may however be supplemented with financial aid, and so parents/legal guardians of any scholarship applicant may apply for financial aid at the same time.

For entering the IB Diploma Programme, scholarships are available in the following categories:

1

OUTSTANDING ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIPS

These scholarships aim to reward students with outstanding academic achievements and will cover up to 50% of the basic fees. Four outstanding academic scholarships will be granted per year.

Our Financial Aid Program

We understand an education at The Global College involves a financial commitment that might not be within reach for all families. We are committed to removing financial barriers to make it possible for as many talented and deserving candidates as possible, whose parents/legal guardians may not be able to meet in full the financial commitment associated with attending The Global College, to join our school.

The Financial Aid Program requires the submission of detailed financial information and documentation from the family. Accordingly, the amount is determined following the full assessment and appraisal of the financial and family circumstances, and the availability of funds.

We are fully committed to broadening access for the best talent and fostering diversity. We therefore encourage families considering joining The Global College, but who may have concerns about affording an education here, to contact us and learn about the range of financial support that our school offers.

How to apply for Scholarship(s) and/or Financial Aid

Candidates must apply for Scholarships and Financial Aid within 15 days from the date of submission of the online application, and, in case of scholarships, no later than January 31st.
