Payment Schedule
When parents and students are informed of acceptance to AIS-Salzburg, invoices for the appropriate tuition and fees are sent by the school accountant. The tuition down payment (25% to total tuition and fees) must be received by the school within 30 days of the invoicing date. All further tuition payment must be completed before September 1 for all full- and five-day boarders. Day student tuition is paid trimesterly with rates due on the first business day of each new trimester.
The school reserves the right to charge interest at a rate of 5% and a processing fee on all overdue invoices and to deny the student’s right to attend classes, participate in school-organized activities and functions, remain resident in the school’s dormitories, receive official school reports of progress and transcripts, or remain on the school’s campus should tuition not be paid in due time.
AIS-Salzburg rewards returning students with a discount on the published tuition and fee rate annually at the following rates:
Returning boarding students: € 2,000 off published tuition and fees
Returning 5-day boarding students: € 2,000 off published tuition and fees
Returning day students: € 1,000 off published tuition and fees
Tuition Policy for Boarders Restricted From Travel For The Fall of 2020
For boarding students who have been accepted and have made a down payment, yet are unable to travel to the school because of government restrictions, tuition will be revised based upon eventual enrollment and residency at the school. On a weekly basis, such students will be charged the day student tuition rate as published in the AIS-Salzburg brochure for the 2020-2021 school year. This weekly tuition will be covered by the previous down payment received so that no further tuition payments are required unless this period of restriction from travel extends beyond the end of the Fall Trimester (November 27, 2020). As soon as restrictions are lifted and the student arrives at the school, a new invoice will be calculated based upon the number of weeks of online instruction plus the remaining year as a full boarder at the respective rates. This payment must be made upon arrival and the start of residency.
