We believe that to be a human being means to live in relationships, and that building bridges helps communication more than putting up walls. Our school strives to be an inclusive space without physical barriers (we have built a ramp, elevator, toilet for the disabled…), and also without mental barriers, where diversity is welcome.
WHAT
Thanks to our donors we have been able to offer 10 new scholarships on average each year since school year 2017/2018. At this moment we have 41 students whose study (enrollment fee and tuition fee) is financially supported by our donors or is fully covered by them. In upcoming school year we would also like to offer scholarship to other students who would otherwise not have the chance to study at our school, but in our eyes are a needed part of our Bilgym community.
FOR WHOM
We are looking for:
- talented and gifted children who are willing to fight for their future
- physically disadvantaged children, children from big families, or children from incomplete families
- children from families living in financially challenging circumstances
HOW
Each application will be decided on an individual basis by the committee, which needs to take into account the following inputs, which are also a condition for the scholarship.
