Scholarships

At AIS-Salzburg, approximately 10-15% of our students receive financial assistance on tuition and fees in the form of scholarships. The average level of financial assistance is around 50% off the total tuition and fees as listed and published annually (see tuition and fees table here).

Scholarship awards are granted based upon evaluations in three areas of student engagement:

1. Academic Success
2. Social Engagement
3. Extracurricular Involvement

Generally speaking, academic success is typified by excellent or outstanding accomplishments in formal academic courses, examination results, and above-average motivation and high levels of effort sustained over an academic year. Outstanding social engagement is typified by involvement in volunteer activities in or out of school, engagement in causes for the improvement of society or individuals or providing direct assistance to those in need. Extracurricular involvement can include sports, student government and other similar organizations.

Because of the inherent difficulties in evaluating the success, engagement and involvement level of students who attend schools around the world, the AIS-Salzburg administration limits all scholarship awards to returning students who have completed at least one year of enrollment at AIS-Salzburg or at least four weeks of the AIS-Salzburg Summer Language Program. This ensures the fair and equal consideration of all candidate accomplishments within a known context; allowing us to grant awards that are justifiably deserved.

To this end, there are two means by which a student may qualify and apply for a scholarship at AIS-Salzburg: by either

(A) proving their abilities during a school year at AIS-Salzburg

or

(B) proving their abilities over four weeks of the Summer Language Program at AIS-Salzburg.
