Financial Support for Participation

Unfortunately we do not provide individual financial support. We do not have any funding for that. All the funding we have can be used only for “common goods”, which apply to all students. For example, we pay for the travel cost of the teachers and rent lecture rooms, but we cannot cover expenses for individual students. We know that this is tricky and makes it very hard for some to attend the school, but we just don’t have such funding.
