资助政策
介绍
财政援助在推荐十大正规网赌平台有着悠久的传统, 从2015年开始, 它一直是其战略计划非凡可能性的核心部分. 财政援助的战略作用反映了学校将社区作为其定义特征之一的重要性.
财政援助计划的目的是双重的:
- To create a diverse student body from a socio-economic perspective by removing financial barriers for Grade 8 applicants who could thrive in the CHS community but do not have sufficient means to meet the School’s fees.
- To ensure short-term continuity of learning for existing students already at the School whose families’ circumstances deteriorate since their enrolment in a way that could not have been anticipated at the time they enrolled.
该计划的四个基本原则是:可持续性、公平、机会和同情心.
财政援助(FA)计划由学校和CHS基金会举办的各种基金(命名和捐赠)资助, 还有父母的捐款, 过去的父母, 女校友, 工作人员, 以及理事会成员通过年度基金或通过高尔夫球锦标赛或晚会等具体活动获得的奖金, 什么会随时间而变化.
经济援助的种类
学校将提供两种类型的经济援助:
- 入学助学金:提供给申请8年级入学的新生, 包括学费折扣和“新生入场费”. 第三节.0提供有关入学经济援助的更多细节.
- 困难经济援助:提供给任何情况发生意外变化的SK至12年级的家庭. 第四节.0提供有关困难经济援助的更多详情.
在这两种情况下,财政援助将提供高达98%的年度学费折扣. 进一步, 将提供援助以支付一些额外的附带费用和可自由支配的费用,包括购买制服, 通宵课程和课外短途旅行, 以及与课外活动相关的费用.
Please note that recipients of both Entrance FA 和 Hardship FA have to reapply on an annual basis to ensure that the level of support for the student is appropriate throughout their time at the School. 学校保留根据家庭情况的重大变化来调整每年奖励金额的权利.
入学资助
入学FA是自由裁量的,对新生开放
- 通过招生过程评估符合学校入学要求的学生,
- 如果家庭经济资源不足以支付学费,
- 在哪里向学院提出资助申请 和
- 哪里有足够的资金奖励.
在录取程序开始的时候, an assessment of the School’s available finances will be made 和 the scale 和 scope of the Entrance FA program for the next academic year will be set out for the Admissions team by the 财务总监. 学校每年将根据可用资金向一些申请人颁发入学奖学金. 申请人数超过可用资金的地方, 在录取过程中表现最好的申请人将优先考虑.
为了进入学校, FA applicants must be successful through the admissions process 和 show that they meet the CHS entrance requirements as assessed through interview, 校内评估, 机密的参考, SAT成绩和学校报告. 更多的细节可以在招生政策中找到.
入学FA将提供给8年级入学的学生, 并且通常会持续到学生在学校的整个学术生涯. 通常, 有关八年级入学和入学FA的决定将在2月底通知家庭, 在董事会批准学费之后. Entrance FA applicants who do not secure an FA award may be waitlisted for an Entrance FA award or offered a place at the school without Entrance FA.
家庭必须在12月1日之前向Apple Financial提交申请,每年更新一次入学FA. This process is to ensure that the level of support remains appropriate to the needs of the student throughout her time at school. 学校有权根据家庭情况的重大变化更改入学奖学金. 入学FA的续签与学习成绩或课外活动无关.
困难经济援助
困难经济援助 will be awarded annually based on demonstrated financial need to existing families with children in SK to Grade 12 whose circumstances have deteriorated markedly since their enrolment at the School in a way that could not have been foreseen.
困难津贴将被视为短期措施(通常长达3年), 在家庭状况改善时是必要的. 在特殊情况下, 由校长全权决定,助学金可延长至3年以上. 临近毕业或学校的一个自然过渡点(如从五年级转到中学), from Grade 7 to 高级学校 or from Grade 9 into the graduation program years) will be some of the factors taken into account when considering an extension of 困难经济援助 beyond 3 years.
在董事会批准学费后,家庭将被通知他们的困难FA奖励, 通常在一月底/二月初.
必须在12月1日前向Apple financial提交申请,每年更新一次. 每年发放的金额可能会根据家庭情况的变化而有所不同.
Families applying for hardship FA for their daughter/s 和 who also have children at other independent schools where FA is available must be applying to 和 /or receiving FA at those schools as well.
困难家庭FA不能转到入学FA项目.
申请家庭津贴家庭的责任
学校将家庭视为财务援助申请过程中的密切合作伙伴. 因此,家庭将被期望:
- seek to apply for assistance only after it has determined that its own resources are insufficient to cover School costs 和 has exhausted the potential resources 和 options available to it.
- be proactive in seeking information 和 answers to questions related to the 金融援助 process directly from the School.
- 根据申请过程的要求,提交真实准确的文件.
- adhere to school deadlines 和 documentation submission requirements 和 is responsive to School requests for additional information to support the application.
- 了解学校没有义务提供经济援助, 即使家庭证明有资格.
- 使用学校建立的渠道接受, 拒绝, 或对财政援助决定提出上诉.
- work to the best of its ability to arrange its financial resources to pay the determined family contribution in the timeline prescribed by the school.
- 了解FA金额可能每年都有变化.
- 尊重足总奖项的机密性.
使用第三方提供商
All applications shall be submitted using a third-party provider (Apple Financial) selected by the School to impartially 和 consistently evaluate all FA Applications. Apple Financial将考虑总收入水平, 资产和开支,并将以保护申请人隐私的方式处理申请.

申请审核流程
The School shall restrict the individuals who receive the data from Apple Financial 和 ensure these individuals are skilled at interpreting the information provided.
足总检讨小组, 由校长组成, 财务总监和招生总监, 应公正地评估Apple Financial的FA建议, 鉴于一贯和透明的以学校为本的优先事项和财政资源的可用性.
When further information is required to adequately evaluate either the information provided to Apple Financial or their recommendation, 学院应在作出决定前寻求澄清.
足总检讨小组 shall make all decisions regarding FA awards 和 these will be communicated to the families in January/February.
上诉足总裁决
希望对FA裁决提出上诉的家庭必须在收到裁决后10天内以书面形式向校长提出上诉. 上诉的理由必须明确规定,并提供任何补充证据.
The Head will review appeals with the 财务总监 和 another Senior Administrator not involved in the initial decision 和 a decision will be made within 10 working days of receipt of the appeal. 校长的决定为最终决定. 任何进一步的上诉必须向ISABC申诉专员提出.
有关负担能力的考虑
学校认识到,一个家庭应该做出什么样的牺牲来支付学费,这是个人的判断, 然而, 在审核经济资助申请时,我们亦会考虑以下因素:
- 改善家庭财务状况或赚钱能力的能力-在有两个伴侣的情况下, both would be expected to be employed unless one is prevented from doing so through incapacity or the need to care for children under school age or other dependents.
- Opportunities to release capital - significant capital savings 和 investments would be expected to be used for the payment of school fees, 以及财产的权益价值.
- 在分居的情况下,不在场的父母所作的贡献.
- 其他家庭成员对家庭成本的贡献.
- 其他学校或大学或课外活动的费用是在哪里支付的.
一般认为,下列情况不符合收到财政援助的情况:
- 课外活动支出不合理
- 每年一次或多次度假的不合理支出
- 一辆或多辆新车或豪华车
- 投资于重大的家庭改善
- 重大财务投资
- 度假物业/土地所有权
关于公平、撤销和偿还的考虑
The aims 和 principles of the FA program outline clearly that this is a program based on a demonstrated financial need to ensure the opportunity for new entrants 和 compassion for existing families. The School reserves the right to investigate elements of the FA application 和 to use other alternative methods to assess the affordability of fees should it become apparent that a family’s lifestyle is inconsistent with the level of the financial assistance award sought or provided.
以下情况可能导致获得足总奖, 进入还是困难, 被撤销, 减少或在某些特殊情况下, 必须偿还的:必须偿还的:
- 申请人故意及/或疏忽提供虚假及/或不完整资料;
- 申请人未能提供学校要求的任何额外信息来证明其经济状况;
- 申请人没有立即报告其财务状况有任何重大变化;
- the School’s resources are insufficient to maintain the level of the award; or
- 违反了学校的条款和条件,接受了学校的学位.
保密
The School abides by BC’s Personal Information Protection Act regulations 和 as such all information obtained as part of an FA application will be treated as confidential 和 will not be disclosed to anyone beyond the small team of senior administrators involved in the FA awards process (the FA Awards Review Group). 这包括校长, 财务总监, 在适当的时候, 招生主任.
学校将尊重对家庭颁发的FA奖的保密,并希望获奖者也这样做.
董事会监督
校董会每年委任两名校董会成员作为校董会联络人. 这些成员将监督FA流程,并支持学校对指导方针的持续审查.
FA过程的结果, 在获奖人数和获奖资金方面, 将在每年6月作为招生主任年度报告的一部分提交给董事会. 任何个人资料或资料将不会与董事会分享.
