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 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 scheme, this should also be mentioned.

The closing date for applications for the 2009/2010 school year is 15 September 2010.

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