Each scholarship covers the cost of boarding and tuition at a private high school, worth $30,000-50,000. Scholars and their families are responsible for all additional costs including travel, insurance, and day-to-day expenses. This is estimated to amount to £2,000-£5,000, and depends on many factors including how a scholar spends their free time and holidays, whether a school stipulates a particular insurance plan, expenses such as books and uniform, and how well a scholar sticks to their budget. How much money do you envisage you would be able to contribute?
