AEA Scholarship Program
Limited financial assistance in the form of partial scholarship is available for new high school enrollees joining the AEA student community after February 1, 2020. Priority for scholarship is given to high-achieving international or local students with exceptional academic records whose sponsoring agencies do not provide for full tuition. Scholarship requests and applications are considered on a case-by-case basis, and the provision of the scholarship depends upon funds and spaces available at the applicant’s grade level.
The AEA Scholarship Program is open to students applying for Grades 9-12 admission. All applicants should demonstrate an excellent command of the English language, strong academic ability, high motivation, and an eagerness to learn and be part of the school’s community.
Applicants for the scholarship program should submit:
- Standard AEA Admission Application.
- Scholarship request letter by parents.
- Academic records from the previous academic year indicating successful academic performance and behavior.
- Recommendation by a teacher from a previous school.
- Letters from parents and the applicant student indicating motivation for attending AEA.
- Submission of proof of financial need (i.e., a letter from the embassy or employing company). The support would be awarded only upon full disclosure of all family resources as requested by the Scholarship Committee. Such information remains confidential.
- The school expects exemplary behavior and performance from its scholarship students, as it does from all its students. It is highly recommended that they participate successfully in the Advanced Placement exam sessions (Grades 10-12) each year.
- Only students not currently enrolled at the American English Academy or who have not previously been enrolled at AEA are eligible to apply for a scholarship.
All scholarship applications are subject to the AEA standard entrance assessment, and the student’s successful performance is a significant factor considered in the final scholarship decision.
AEA provides a scholarship for one school year. Funding will continue in years following the student’s admission, depending upon a year-by-year review of the recipient’s satisfactory academic and behavioral performance and a recap of the respective financial situation.
AEA believes that a positive and constructive working relationship between the school and a student’s parents is essential. Consequently, the American English Academy may not continue financial assistance and enrollment if school authorities conclude that a parent’s actions make such a constructive relationship impossible or otherwise seriously interfere with the school’s accomplishment of its educational mission.
The AEA scholarship program is funded by the school’s parent company, Markan Holding AD. The AEA Scholarship Committee, chaired by a parent company representative, approves scholarship applications.
Applicant’s Admission Application must be submitted online. All other documentation must be sent by email to admissions@aeasofia.com.
