Meridian Scholarship offers a tuition subsidy funded by a sponsoring organization for some students entering 1st–4th grade in September 2025. For the 2025/26 school year, the subsidized tuition is EUR 698 per month instead of EUR 1,087, with the subsidy covering the full time in primary school (subject to index adjustment up to the 4th grade or if the student leaves early). This scholarship is a one-time opportunity for children who value multilingualism and are able to use German and English at native-speaker level in a German-speaking and/or international environment. The application deadline is 31 March 2025 at 23:59. Requirements include reaching the compulsory school age (six years by 01 September 2025), general school readiness, and good German; English knowledge at an age-appropriate level is advantageous; a motivation letter must be attached/uploaded (or emailed to direktion@meridianschool.at). The subsidy provides a monthly grant of EUR 389 toward tuition (12 times per year), resulting in EUR 698 payable per month. The subsidy applies only to new students entering 1st–4th grade in September 2025 and lasts for the entire time at Meridian. Eligible families include those with German as mother/tuser language, German/English as home languages, German/other language as home languages, or those coming from bilingual German-English kindergartens; the child must have German and English as the languages of instruction from grade 1. Financial or social need is not a prerequisite, and no financial documents are required.
