Aetaomah School Scholarship Programme
providing Equity in Steiner Education
Applications are now open for our Scholarship Program. Scholarships are for commencement in all classes from Class 1 to 8. Each Scholarship will provide a subsidy on Tuition Fees for eligible students for the duration of their enrolment at Aetaomah School, or while their family is experiencing financial disadvantage.
OUR SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
Aetaomah School wishes to facilitate an inclusive and diverse community and make Steiner Education more available to families who are aligned with our school ethos and community. Our Scholarship Program offers a limited number of subsidised places to eligible applicants, who would otherwise not have the opportunity to enrol in the school, due to financial disadvantages.
The total number of Scholarships awarded in any year, will depend on the number of applications at each year level, the financial impact, and the social and educational impact on individual classes and the school as a whole.
