REPAYMENT OF EXCEPTIONAL EDUCATION COSTS

Personnel of the various institutions of the Communities (officials, temporary staff, contract agents, former officials or where an official has died, to those entitled under him) are reminded that it may be possible for the Commission to contribute to 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 2008/2009 school year is 15 September 2009.

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