FEES, SCHOLARSHIPS & GRANTS

Find the Tuition and Boarding Fees for the entry year 2024 – 2025 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 two financial aid programs: a merit-only scholarship program that celebrates achievement and potential, and a financial assistance program of means-tested awards (known as grants) 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 a financial assistance award, and so parents/legal guardians of any scholarship applicant may apply for a grant at the same time.

For entering the IB Diploma Programme in September 2024, scholarships are available in the following categories:

1

OUTSTANDING ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIPS

Our Financial Assistance 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.

All our grants are means-tested awards, requiring the submission of detailed financial information and documentation from the family. Accordingly, the value of our grants is not fixed, and 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 Grants

Both types of awards -scholarships and grants- must be applied for within 15 days from the date of submission of the online admissions application, and, in the case scholarships, no later than January 31 of the same year in which entry to Year 1 of the IB Diploma Programme is intended.

Each type of award has its own separate application form and unique requirements. Qualifying candidates may apply for scholarship under two categories. A student candidate may be awarded both a scholarship and a grant, provided both applications are filed jointly and by the stated deadlines.

If awarded, all scholarships and grants last for the two years of the IB Diploma Programme, provided recipients maintain a satisfactory level of commitment, behavior, and academic progress.

The Scholarships and Grants Handbook for Entry Year 2024-2025 and the application forms for both types of awards are available on request from the Scholarships and Financial Aid Team at scholarships@theglobalcollege.com
