By purchasing a debenture, the debenture holder agrees to become a member of the Association and be subject to its Articles of Association.
There are two types of debentures:

FOND DES AMIS Family Financial Assistance
The Fond des Amis Financial Assistance program is dedicated to supporting currently enrolled FIS families in times of economic hardship. This one-off assistance is designed to enable continuity in academics and prevent families who experience temporary economic challenge from having to leave FIS.
The Fond des Amis is dedicated to providing a one-time financial support grant for families that are experiencing economic hardship. Applications for this assistance are considered by our FDA committee.
The intention of this assistance is to provide support in times of sudden economic hardship and is not a replacement for other forms of scholarship. We provide this support on a discretionary basis through a standard application mechanism – consideration is given to employment related causes, divorce, medical reasons, and unforeseen family reasons such as illness or death.
Through the Fond des Amis, we aim to safeguard the academic aspirations of our students when faced with sudden financial burden.
