Scholarship program
The Escuela de la Palapa aims to provide high-quality education to the youth of Todos Santos regardless of their socioeconomic background. Our tuition fees already include financial support that all our students receive, but in addition, the school has a scholarship program for families who need it.
Families may start their scholarship application through the following process:
Scholarship application: Interested families will have to request and fill out the Scholarship Application form and submit it to School Control.
Socioeconomic evaluation: the social worker will contact the families that have applied for a scholarship to make a home visit and carry out the corresponding socioeconomic study.
Notification to modify the scholarship: After the social worker issues the results of the socioeconomic studies, the Co-Director and the School Committee will determine the percentage that will be assigned to each family. Subsequently, the Co-Directorate will compare the Scholarship Allocation Letter with the families that have requested it, where the amount of the scholarship offered is indicated.
Signature and payment: If you agree, the mother, father or guardian must sign the letter accepting the scholarship percentage. In the same way, you must start paying the tuition contemplating the supported scholarship.
Our scholarships are open to those who need it, as they form a key element in the school’s vision of collaboration with the community.
