Scholarships	Scholarships —	Scholarships Adjusted Tuition — setting the fee to your family's circumstances. Before ruling ISJ out on the published fee, talk to us. Where ISJ is genuinely the right school for your child and the full fee is a stretch, tuition can be set to what your family can manage. It is not a discount and not a scholarship, and support is usually partial: we adjust the fee, we do not remove it. It is open to families funding education privately, including expatriate families on local-plus contracts and the self-employed, for whom a posting no longer covers full school fees. More families qualify than assume they do. It begins with one private conversation rather than a form. Speak with Tiffany Hurret in Admissions; a short, confidential review then sets the fee, and arrangements are reviewed each year so they move with your circumstances. Every arrangement stays between your family and the school, with no bearing on your child's place or their day here. Ki Hajar Dewantara Scholarship — widening access for Indonesian pupils. A limited number of awards each year, covering up to 100% of tuition, for Indonesian pupils of exceptional promise for whom the fees would otherwise be out of reach. Awards are made on academic potential and family circumstances, including at A-Level entry in Year 12. The bar is high and the places are few. Named in honour of Ki Hajar Dewantara (1889–1959), founder of the Taman Siswa movement, who held that education should be open to all, whatever a child's background. To start a confidential conversation, contact Admissions at admissions@isj.id or +62 811 1000 7672.
