Financial Aid
Tuition Assistance
At present, three forms of tuition reduction or assistance are available at L’Ecole Française du Maine. The time frame for a tuition assistance application is April for the following school year. Late applications are considered on a case-to-case basis.
1. EFDM has direct scholarship support, based upon financial need. Applications for scholarships are available from Elizabeth LeBihan and are based upon the previous tax year’s 1040 return. Because tuition assistance relies upon the past year’s tax form, if a family’s financial situation changes for the better, sharing this information provides the school with the opportunity to offer tuition support to additional families in need.
2. Tuition can be reduced through an exchange of services for families needing assistance. For example: maintenance, cleaning, snow plowing, and photocopies. Necessary services for which the school already pays in cash are considered.
3. If your child is a French national, who is registered at the Consulate in Boston, you may qualify for tuition assistance through the Government of France. The application process for this scholarship requires early filing of your US tax returns. The application deadline for this type of tuition support closes well before April 15th, possibly as early as late-February, and the family’s US Tax form 1040 must be included with this application. This means that your taxes must be completed prior to the deadline determined by the Government of France for this form of tuition assistance. Therefore, to apply, please plan to file your taxes as soon as possible. Elodie Chancelier will be available to help guide families through the application process for this tuition assistance. Even though the application relies upon the tax return accompanying the application form, every family with French national children could receive some form of tuition assistance, as much as 100% of tuition fees.
