Aid to Suomi Schools

 

Suomi Schools are entitled to receive aid from Finland in support of their activities. The aid is distributed by application through the Finland Society.

Suomi Schools eligible for aid are language schools providing complementary instruction in Finnish during students’ free time. They must have a minimum of six students from at least three different families.

Students aged 0-18 are eligible for the support.

The amount of aid Suomi Schools receive is affected most by the number of students, the number of lessons given (the school can receive aid for a maximum of two lessons/week/group) and rental expenses. A school cannot fund all its activities with subsidies, but must also have other sources of income, such as term fees, sponsors or other fundraising of its own.

A Suomi School which has received aid must submit to the Finland Society an accounting report on the  aid received for the previous term, with the annual report, profit and loss account, balance sheet as well as an auditing report.
