Scots College – Learning. For Life.

Policy on Parents’ Association support of Individuals selected to attend an event or to represent Scots College/Wellington at a National or International level.

Rationale

To assist students meeting the financial requirements of being selected as national representatives or selected to represent Scots College at a high level in their chosen sport, cultural pursuit or academic level. The costs of their involvement are often considerable and in many cases applications are made to the school by the student.

Purpose

By recognising the high level achieved by our students the College can offer financial support in assisting students to participate and achieve their goals.

Guidelines

1. Each year a sum of $5000 is made available by the Parents’ Association to the Headmaster. This amount will be allocated to the specific Budget code:
   Student Support Scholarship
   a. Should the $5000 not be fully used in any given year the amount remaining will be carried over to the next financial year
2. Students who have gone through a rigorous selection process to be included in a national/international recognised competition or event as an individual can apply to the Headmaster for funding assistance.
   a. Students will use the Application for Funding Assistance form (98KB).  This is also available from the Headmaster’s PA.
3. Funding will be allocated on the basis of 25% of the actual costs up to a maximum of $500 per student per annum.
4. An individual may apply once only for financial assistance in any given calendar year.
5. Individuals may also apply to attend national/international educative and leadership events.
