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 school year 2021/22 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 considered by the School Board on an individual basis, looking at both the overall score reached at the admission exams as well as the family’s social situation. Applicants will be informed at the same time about their admission exams results and the decision on their scholarship application.

SPECIAL FUNDRAISER FOR OUR STUDENTS FROM UKRAINE
Please consider specifically supporting students from Ukrajine at our school. Some of them have a “temporary status” whilst others have transferred to our school. We would like to help them all. Thanks to your generosity, we have already received (as of December 9, 2022) 12 490 EUR, for which we are very thankful. If you would be willing to help more, we would be grateful if you considered the following:
- for full support of all UA students for THIS YEAR, the remaining need is 7 060 EUR. This includes tuition costs, personal and group support, classes of Slovak language as well as practical help (e.g. free school lunches)
- Among our Ukrainan students, there are three who successfully completed transfer exams and are now regular students who would like to graduate at our school (in two and three years´s time). We are therefore looking for donors who would be willing to make a more long term commitment to partial/full scholarship (at the moment, the full scholarship would be 2850 per year per student).
If you have a chance to join in this UA support either by one-off gift or a more long term commitment to one of the students, we would be most thankful if you considered donating. If you are interested, please use edupage or bank transfer to this account:
- IBAN: SK89 1100 0000 0029 4700 5372
- Note: podpora UA študentov
