Debenture and Capital Levy Scheme

To provide for repairs, maintenance and improvement of the school’s facilities for the benefit of all students, Stamford American School Hong Kong raises funds via

• the issuance of Debentures, and
• the collection of Capital Levies.

If you are interested in subscribing for an Individual Debenture, please kindly contact us at admissions@sais.edu.hk.

If you are interested in finding out more about our Standard Corporate Debenture, Standard Plus Corporate Debenture or Platinum Debenture, please kindly contact our Director of Corporate Liaison at admissions@sais.edu.hk.

Stamford issues a very limited number of optional debentures for corporate employers. There are three types of corporate debentures in the below priority order:

• Platinum Corporate Debenture                 - HK$5,000,000
• Standard Plus Corporate Debenture        - HK$3,000,000
• Standard Corporate Debenture                 - HK$2,000,000
   

Please contact our Director of Corporate Liaison at admissions@sais.edu.hk for further information. 

The holder of a debenture obtains priority in admissions, subject to Stamford’s eligibility requirements. Corporate Debentures (Platinum, Standard Plus and Standard) confer the highest priority in admissions, followed by Individual Debentures.

Debenture holders also receive priority in admissions if they seek to transfer to another school in the Cognita family of schools in Asia during the life of the debenture.

All children who are nominated by a debenture are exempt from the mandatory capital levy.

Discounts

Capital Levy Fee: 50% discount for enrollment of a third child from the same family and a full waiver of the Capital Levy Fee for a fourth child and beyond.
(Discounts are applied from the oldest to the youngest. For example, if there are three children in the family, the youngest child will receive the discount.)
