Financial Aid and Grants

It is in the interest of Herlufsholm School to admit academically and personally qualified students to the school, either as boarders or day students. Therefore it is possible to apply for a reduction of the school fee.

The school will assess applications for a reduction of fees based on all information supplied - possibly supplemented by a personal interview.

A reduction in school fees is granted per school year, and parents must reapply every year if the need continues.

When the student turns 18, he/she is eligible for financial support from the State Education Fund (SU). In determining the fee reduction, this SU-subsidy often leads to a reduced rate of

financial support from the quarter in which the student starts to receive SU.

School fees can be reduced as a result of a sibling reduction or a concrete needs-based assessment.

Siblings who are attending the school at the same time may be granted a special discount on the fee. The discount is provided to the sibling with the lowest school fee.

Financial aid is awarded on the basis of an individual assessment of budget considerations and the individual family’s situation.

Note that these discounts do not apply to students in the 6th grade.

The application deadline is June 1. It is vital that this deadline is kept. If applying after the deadline, the school cannot guarantee a reduction. If a reduction is granted, it will come into force at the upcoming quarterly payment.

Application forms can be found online on the school’s webpage.

Application for SU (the State Education Fund) takes place directly on www.su.dk

Herlufsholm treats all fee reductions with discretion and kindly ask parents that they will do the same.

Please make sure to find out if the student has sufficient insurance coverage, especially with respect to liability, accidents, belongings and travel. The student is personally responsible for personal property while at Herlufsholm; this includes bicycles and electronic equipment.

For parents who live abroad there may be special issues regarding insurance coverage of the children’s travels to and from Herlufsholm.

The school has created a special travel insurance that takes these considerations into account. More information can be obtained from Godskontoret (the business administration) by calling +45 55 75 35 01.
