REPAYMENT OF EXCEPTIONAL EDUCATION COSTS

This Administrative Notice concerns staff of the various institutions of the Communities (officials, temporary and auxiliary staff and contract agents) who have school-age children.

You are reminded that the Commission may be able to contribute to the costs of primary and secondary education of children who:

• cannot or can no longer be admitted to a European School for imperative educational reasons duly supported by evidence
  or
• cannot attend a European school because of their parents' place of employment.

Before making an application, we advise you to be sure that you have fully exhausted your entitlement to education allowances. If you are entitled to repayment under aid for disabled persons or from the sickness insurance, this should also be mentioned.

The closing date for applications for the 2007/2008 school year is 15 September 2008.

All the information concerning the criteria to be fulfilled for examination of applications, forms and list of supporting documents can be found on IntraComm.
