Promoting talent, opening up opportunities.
Scholarships
That's what matters:
"Top marks in the subject of community spirit"
Our support programme is aimed at all girls and boys who are keen to achieve something, who are prepared to challenge themselves and test their own limits. But a top grade is not everything! The most important requirement for our scholarship holders is that they make a special contribution to the Landheim community and are keen to play an active role in shaping boarding school life.
Three scholarships for the Landheim Ammersee
Don't stop high-flyers.
Opportunity Scholarship
The partial scholarship enables promising pupils in Years 1 to 13 with difficult starting conditions or parents who cannot afford the school and boarding school fees without financial help to receive an excellent education at Landheim Ammersee. The annual school or school and boarding school fees are reduced by a maximum of 40%.
Achievement scholarship
The partial scholarship supports particularly talented pupils in years 1 to 13 who, in addition to good to very good academic achievements, have outstanding achievements in the creative, craft, artistic or sporting fields. The annual school or school and boarding school fees are reduced by € 8,000. The award of a full scholarship is based on individual conditions. Please contact Ms Maike Häusler for more information.
History scholarship
The partial scholarship is aimed at pupils in years 10 to 11 with good to very good performance in the subject of history who want to significantly enrich life at the Landheim with their knowledge. The scholarship is granted by the Dr Stephan von Katona Memorial Foundation. The annual school and boarding school fees are reduced by € 11,000.
FAQ about our scholarships
Who can apply?
All students who bring two things to the table: Firstly, good to very good academic performance. Secondly, the desire to further develop their own social skills in living and working together with their peers. This also includes taking responsibility for themselves and others, getting involved in society and actively shaping the boarding school community. The exact requirements for the individual scholarships can be found in the respective application forms.
What is part of the application?
Please send us the completed application form, a CV of the student, the school reports of the last two or three school years, a reference letter from a subject teacher and a handwritten letter of motivation from the applicant. Sometimes we would also like a little extra proof of achievement. For example, we are already looking forward to reading the history essay of the applicants for the Dr Stephan von Katona Scholarship. You will find all details on the required documents in the application forms. But what is most important to us is the idea that we can grow with and on each other. We would be happy to convince ourselves of this when we meet in person!
For what period are scholarships awarded?
To ensure that as many students as possible can benefit from the advantages of an excellent education at the Landheim, all scholarships are initially granted as partial scholarships: the scholarships begin and end with the school year, after which an application for extension can be submitted. Merit scholarships are usually also granted in subsequent years – up to the Abitur – if the good to very good academic performance is maintained. In individual cases, the opportunity scholarship is also available as a full scholarship.
How exactly does the application work?
As soon as we receive the application documents – but at the latest after 1 June of each year – we examine all applications very carefully and make a preliminary selection. All pupils who are generally suitable for Landheim Ammersee are invited to an application day together with their parents. Depending on the number of applications, the application days take place individually or in a bundle in the course of June. The written acceptances and rejections are then sent out after 1 July of each year.
How are the scholarships awarded?
Scholarships are awarded to girls and boys with outstanding academic or extracurricular achievements and exceptional social commitment. The financial situation of the parents also plays a role. The head of the Landheim Schondorf am Ammersee Foundation or the Dr Stephan von Katona Memorial Foundation decides on the awarding of scholarships on the recommendation of the Scholarship Committee. The decision is final and therefore incontestable. There is no entitlement to a scholarship. The details of the awarding procedure can be found in the scholarship regulations.
