Scholarships and school fee discounts

In brief

School-published 2026/27 terms include a 2% full-year tuition discount at SISB Rayong and Regents scholarship award levels up to 100%. Some annual-payment deadlines have passed. Routine sibling discounts reach 25% at ISE. Each applies to a different base and may not stack.

01 · The answer

Types of published concessions

A scholarship, an annual-payment discount and a sibling concession solve different problems. A scholarship is selective and may be reviewed each year. An annual-payment discount exchanges liquidity for a lower tuition invoice. A sibling concession depends on child order and may apply only to tuition or a one-time entry charge.

The headline percentages are therefore not a league table. Regents' 100% figure is a published scholarship award level, not a routine family discount. ISE's 25% is for a fourth or subsequent child's tuition. SISB's 2026/27 fee sheet lists 2% for full-year payment, but its Term 1 due date was 11 June 2026; confirm any current offer. None reduces every item on the first-year bill.

3%฿15,000฿485,000That the discount uses the whole annual tuition base
5%฿25,000฿475,000That it stacks with a sibling or scholarship award

Use the school fees hub to find the published tuition base, then use the real-cost guide to add entry fees, deposits, lunch, transport and support. The saving belongs on one labelled line, not over the whole budget.

02 · Selective awards

Published scholarship terms

Regents publishes the largest award level. Its Signature Scholarship page lists 25%, 50% and 100% levels, plus Junior awards of 5%–20%. Awards are limited. They normally run for one year and require reapplication; the Academic Excellence Scholarship may run for up to two years. The public page does not promise that every level is open in every category or year.

Garden publishes the clearest scope. Students entering IGCSE or the IB Diploma may apply for academic, arts, global-citizenship or sports scholarships. The maximum is 25% of tuition only. The award replaces other discounts, excludes examination fees, trips and resource funds, and is reviewed annually. Applications may be made at any time, normally for the following academic year.

A maximum award is not a price. Ask which fees the percentage covers, whether the award survives a mid-year review, what happens if the child changes programme, and which behaviour, attendance or performance conditions can end it. Budget the undiscounted amount until the school issues a signed award.

03 · Cash timing

Full-year payment discounts

Ten cited school sources describe a full-year payment concession. The 2026/27 payment deadlines for Rugby, ISC and Regents have passed; check eligibility with admissions before budgeting any saving. Other published terms also need a current written offer. Nine use 2%–5% of annual tuition as the base. Wells is the important exception: its fee sheet says 3% of second-semester tuition, which equals 1.5% of annual tuition when the two published semesters are equal. Quoting Wells as “3% off the year” would double the saving.

Do not compare a school's already-discounted annual column with another school's term-by-term total. ISC and Regents both show discounted annual figures, but their June and July 2026 payment deadlines have passed. Use ISC's 2026/27 term sums of ฿180K–฿370.8K and Regents’ term sums of ฿464K–฿899K tuition and ฿447K boarding as the published standard basis, then request a current written quote. If the invoice does not show the standard tuition, the saving and the discounted tuition separately, ask finance to do so.

04 · Family concessions

Sibling discounts

ISE reaches 25% for a fourth or later child, but many schools start at 5% for the second. Regents begins only with the third child. MIS gives 5% to both first and second children when two are enrolled. Wells uses fixed-baht reductions. ISC reduces the one-time registration charge rather than publishing a sibling tuition discount.

For a family quote, list every child in age order and ask which child the school treats as first. Then request separate lines for tuition, enrolment or acceptance, deposits and optional services. If one child leaves, ask whether the remaining children's order — and therefore the discount — changes immediately or next academic year.

05 · Promotions and conflicts

Promotions that need clarification

Regents referral promotion: the live page advertises 10% tuition for a qualifying referred family and the referring family, potentially through 2028/29 when the new student starts between 1 March and 31 October 2026. But the same page both says the referral discount cannot combine with sibling discounts and separately answers that families still qualify for the school's sibling discount. Treat stacking as unresolved and require a signed offer. Official source

TPIS payment conflict: the dated 2026/27 PDF says annual payers receive 5% off tuition. The live fee page separately says Terms 2 and 3 receive 2% discounts. Those statements may describe different payment mechanics, but the public sources do not reconcile them. Ask which document controls the invoice. Live fee page

Belfry family tariff: the 2026/27 PDF is labelled “4th year Family” and also shows a second 5% discounted line beneath each tariff. It does not define “4th year Family” or clearly state whether the green line is cumulative with the annual-payment column. The numbers are not treated as an available family discount here. Official source

Sirasartsuksa's undated page: it labels annual figures as discounted, but gives no academic year or eligibility terms and its semester and annual tables do not reconcile. Use it only to formulate questions, not to set a budget. Official source

Assumption Sriracha's payment-window saving: the official Term 1/2569 notice gives a ฿1,000 reduction for SWIS payment by 30 April 2026 and ฿500 from 1 May to 30 September 2026. This is a dated reduction on a partial term schedule, not an annual tuition discount. Official Term 1 notice

Before budgeting a saving

Confirm the award terms in writing

Published maximums, referral offers and family tariffs are possibilities, not an amount awarded to your child. Most public concessions are commercial terms rather than open-ended means-tested bursaries.

  1. Get the exact award. Confirm the amount, fee base, duration, renewal or review conditions and whether it can combine with other reductions.
  2. Check cash and refund risk. Ask when payment is due, what is refundable and whether paying a full year would put strain on the family budget.
  3. Request a line-by-line invoice. Use the child's grade and start date. Show standard tuition, each saving as a negative line, compulsory extras, refundable deposits and amounts due now and later. Compare it with the undiscounted fee guide.
