Global Continuity Bursary

An International School Bursary providing Financial Aid for Expat Families in Jakarta.

The Global Continuity Bursary is designed to maintain a diverse international community at ISJ. We provide financial assistance to expatriate families who are a perfect fit for our community but find full tuition fees a significant hurdle. This program is specifically intended for families on "Local-Plus" contracts, the self-employed, or those privately funding their children's education.

Eligibility Criteria

To be considered for a bursary, applicants must meet the following criteria:

• Expatriate Status: At least one parent or guardian must hold a non-Indonesian passport and a valid KITAS.

• Demonstrated Need: Families must demonstrate that they are paying tuition fees privately and do not receive a full educational allowance from an employer.

• Academic Standing: Pupils must meet ISJ’s standard admissions requirements and show a commitment to contributing to school life.

• Global Trajectory: Preference is given to families who require a British curriculum to ensure seamless future transitions to their home country or international hubs like Singapore and Sydney.

Assessment Process

The bursary is means-tested, and support levels are determined by a confidential review of the family’s financial profile. Factors considered include:

• Gross household income and liquid assets.

• The proportion of net income required to pay full fees.

• Relocation expenses and the local cost of living.

• Number of siblings enrolled at ISJ.

Terms of the Award

• Confidentiality: To protect the privacy of our families, both the school and the recipient agree to keep the existence and amount of the bursary strictly confidential.

• Duration: Awards are typically granted for one academic year and are reviewed annually. Support is intended to be consistent, provided the family’s financial circumstances do not change.

• Scope: The bursary applies to Annual Tuition Fees only. It does not cover the Capital Levy, uniforms, transport, or optional school trips unless explicitly stated in the award letter.
