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 debentures@sais.edu.hk.

Capital Levy
Capital Levy (Option A)	$150,000	Valid for the student's duration at Stamford, payable upon acceptance. The Capital Levy is mandatory for children who are admitted to Stamford without a debenture.
Capital Levy (Option B) - Annual Capital Levy 2018/2019	$30,000	Valid for the 2018/2019 academic year, payable upon acceptance. The Capital Levy is mandatory for children who are admitted to Stamford without a debenture.

Debentures
Individual Debentures (for individuals)	$500,000	For non-corporate applicants Valid for the nomination of one child for priority admission Valid for 8 consecutive academic years from enrollment If the nominated child fails to meet our eligibility requirements, the full amount is refundable After the debenture expires, if students are still at Stamford, you are required to either have a debenture or pay a capital levy The debenture is refundable at a reduced value that depends on the academic year in which a child leaves the school. The refunded debenture value will be reduced by any outstanding fees payable to the school.

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 debentures@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.
