FINANCIAL AID PROGRAMME
Financial Aid Programme
At BEPS, we believe that students learn best in an environment which includes peers from a variety of economic, cultural, and geographic backgrounds. As a result, BEPS is excited to introduce a Financial Aid Programme to support the enrolment of students who otherwise would not be able to attend the school due to financial reasons.
The Financial Aid Programme is limited to students entering Secondary School who are either already enrolled at BEPS International School or joining from another school.
Recipients of financial aid will benefit from grants that cover a certain percentage of the annual tuition fee. The level of financial assistance is reviewed annually and covers the tuition fee alone.
The primary responsibility for tuition rests with the family, and each family is expected to fully utilise its own resources before requesting financial aid. BEPS recognises the distinctiveness of each situation and tailors aid packages to meet the needs demonstrated by families that qualify.
BEPS will consider applications for financial aid throughout the year, but there is a set annual budget. Once the financial aid budget is exhausted, we will be unable to offer additional grants in that year. Eligibility for financial aid does not guarantee that BEPS will automatically release funds.

Financial and application process
Step 1:
Submitting the forms
Current families
All applicants for the BEPS Financial Aid Programme must complete the following documents:
Prospective families
All applicants for the BEPS Financial Aid Programme, yet to enrol in the school, must complete the following documents:
- BEPS Application Form (The request for financial assistance must be submitted alongside the Application Form)
- BEPS Financial Aid Request Form
- School reports for the last two years
- Contact details from previous school (someone who has been involved in a project or activity alongside the applicant and can answer the questionnaire)
- Submit Financial documents
Step 2:
The Family Interview
Together with their parents, students are invited to an interview with the Leadership Team (face-to-face or skype). During this interview, the student needs to demonstrate outstanding behaviour and attitudes to learning.
The family needs to be committed to the BEPS vision and mission and prepared to support initiatives in the school community (supporting PTA and PTA events, providing expertise and support for specific subjects learning, helping the school or the teachers to contact guest speakers, providing workshops linked to their profession to the students, promoting the school and its approach to learning in the wider community in various ways)
Step 3:
The Decision
The Financial Aid committee will evaluate the application and the result of the interview in order to ensure they meet the financial aid criteria.
The decision will be communicated in writing to the family.
