Walden Education Foundation Scholarship Program
Based on the belief that every child has a right to education, the Walden Education Foundation Scholarship Program identifies children from underprivileged environments and provides them with scholarships, financial assistance, and mentoring to ensure they complete formal education without difficulty. This program has no overheads – all donations received go directly towards the school fees.
About 50% of the children studying at Walden’s Path School and Walden’s Path The Magnet School are eligible for scholarships and financial support. Please meet the Financial assistance coordinator after submitting your application for school admission.

Criteria for Financial Aid
The Walden Education Foundation Scholarship Program has a scholarship committee which meets to decide on how financial aid awards are allocated.
Under the program, 50% of children in each class between the age group of 5 to 16 years, who are either orphaned or raised by a single parent without any support, will be eligible for the scholarship; children from vulnerable families (who are suffering from abuse or severe neglect in the family) will also be awarded a scholarship.
Prospective parents or guardians are required to complete a form which is available from the Head of Admissions. The form requires parents to submit a detailed report of their financial affairs, including joint family income, for the school to ascertain whether they are justified in providing financial support to the parents. The form is comprehensive and has been designed to ensure that the school can allocate its resources wisely and effectively to reach the neediest parents. It does not provide financial support through discounts to parents who do not need it. Financial Aid (means-tested awards), ranges from limited financial support to awards worth 100%+ to support parents who would not be able to afford to send their children to the school. The system also applies to scholars whose parents require further financial support to enable their children to attend school.
