At The Knowledge Society (TKS), we are committed to making our programs accessible to curious and ambitious young people, regardless of their financial circumstances. In 2025, we provided over $2,500,000 in financial aid to our students from more than 60 countries worldwide.

Our financial aid program is strictly needs-based. Support may be provided to families experiencing financial constraints due to factors such as:
<aside> ❓
Once the financial aid decision is communicated, families may proceed with enrolment based on the final tuition amount.
Step 4: Confirm enrolment
The Financial Aid Team reviews each application using a standardized scoring rubric to ensure applications are reviewed fairly across all students applying for financial aid. If approved, financial aid is applied as a tuition reduction and shared before enrolment is confirmed.
Step 3: Review and approval
After acceptance, parents or guardians may request a financial aid application. The application must be completed by a parent or guardian and submitted with all required documentation listed below.
Step 2: Apply for financial aid
Financial aid is available only after a applicant has been accepted.
Step 1: Acceptance into TKS

Below are questions we usually get about our Financial Aid.
<aside> ℹ️ How much financial aid does TKS offer? Our team offers needs-based tuition support upon review of your financial aid application. There is no predetermined amount - grants are determined based on your family's unique financial circumstances, as well as the remaining available financial aid funding. Please note: financial aid funds are limited and awarded on a rolling basis.
</aside>
<aside> ℹ️ Will applying for financial aid affect my chances of being accepted? No - the TKS application process is need-blind, which means you’re accepted into TKS based on your ambition and curiosity. Your application for financial aid is fully independent of acceptance, and occurs after an offer of acceptance has been sent.
</aside>
<aside> ℹ️ Can I apply for financial aid after I’ve enrolled? By confirming enrolment, the student and parent are agreeing to the communicated tuition amount. For this reason, we ask that you apply for any tuition support before securing your place in the program. Excluding extreme circumstances, our team will not grant any tuition support once enrolment is confirmed.
</aside>
<aside> ℹ️ Are there any support options outside of financial aid? For students whose families do not qualify for financial aid, we do provide merit-based scholarships which students can apply for. Please see above for more information.
</aside>
<aside> ℹ️ Is there a refund policy if I need to drop out of the program? Yes - we understand that situations can change. If you join TKS and during the year would like to withdraw your enrolment, you may be eligible to receive a partial refund, dependent on your payment plan. We’ve created guidelines around our refund policy, which are outlined in our terms & conditions.
</aside>
<aside> ℹ️ What payment methods are available once we’ve been assessed for financial aid? Payment can be made in two ways:
Single Payment: Tuition is paid in full up front (with an additional discount for doing so).
Please note that the single payment discount does not apply to recipients of financial aid or scholarships.
Monthly Payments: After a non-refundable deposit, the remaining balance is paid in 10 equal instalments.
Instalment payments are processed automatically on the 1st of each corresponding month, and are charged to the same payment method used for the deposit.
We accept payment via credit card, debit card, and pre authorized bank transfers. If this will be an issue, please contact us for alternative methods.
