DOCUMENTS REQUIRED AT THE TIME OF ADMISSION

THE FOLLOWING DOCUMENTS ARE REQUIRED AS A PART OF THE ADMISSIONS PROCEDURE FOR EVERY STUDENT APPLYING FOR ADMISSION:

PROCEDURE FOR REGISTRATION

An application for registration is the first stage of the admissions process. A registration fee must be sent along with the application so that the girl's name may be registered for the year and class for which admission is sought. The fee is neither refundable nor adjustable and it is valid only for the specified academic year. Registration of a girl is not a guarantee of her admission.

REQUIREMENTS AT THE TIME OF REGISTRATION

1. One recent passport size photograph of the girl has to be attached.
2. The completed Registration card must be sent along with an attested photocopy of the student's Birth Certificate and the Registration Fee.
3. The Birth Certificate should be issued by the Registrar of Births and Deaths of the area in which the girl was born. Affidavits, certificates from the hospital, or certificates from any other person are not accepted. The Birth Certificate should not be dated more than one year after the date of birth.

APTITUDE/PROFICIENCY ASSESSMENT

Every girl registered for admission into classes VI & VII is expected to appear for an Aptitude/Proficiency Assessment at the specified centre closest to the individual girl's place of residence. The Assessment is held in November/December of the year preceding that in which admission is sought. Particulars of these Assessments are sent by the school to parents well in advance.

Offers of admission are given on the basis of the results of these Assessments and depend on the number of vacancies in each class. Some preference is given to daughters of transferable Government officials and serving Armed Forces personnel. Preference is also given to girls whose mothers have studied in this school for a minimum of four years or who have passed out of school at the end of Class XII. Preference is also given to those whose siblings have studied or are at present studying in the School.

RE-REGISTRATION FOR CLASSES VI & VII

All registrations are done for a particular year and for the class requested for by the parent.

If a parent wishes to re-register, an additional fee is charged and a fresh registration number issued to the child.

However, re-registration of a child who has either not cleared the Assessment or whose Registration has lapsed for any other reason, must be done within a year of the lapse, failing which full registration fees have to be paid again.

Scholarships

The School offers several Scholarships each year to deserving students studying in Welham Girls' School. Scholarships are available on applications received from the parents and are decided on the basis of means cum merit. The scholarship amounts are decided after assessing the combined income of the parents and are awarded after the scholarship committee has scrutinized all relevant documents.

Scholarships cover a substantial portion of the School fees. Parents of students aspiring to join the School in the coming year may also apply for a scholarship. Scholarships are revised annually for which fresh applications need to be submitted. Parents of students wishing to apply for a Scholarship must request for the necessary form from the School every year.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Welham strongly believes in inclusivity and making education available to one and all. As part of the organisation's social responsibility, we sponsor two or more students from modest backgrounds every year on full scholarship. The process of selection of deserving students is fair and transparent and the chosen girls are provided every single opportunity and comfort as the rest of the students.

The school is also open to exploring associations with educational NGOs and absorbing more students on full scholarship.

WITHDRAWAL PROCESS
