The drawing and the scholarship are expressly limited to NSHSS members, and only one application per NSHSS member will be admitted.

The minimum age to participate in this program is 14 years old.

The sign up process will be considered complete by filling out and submitting the previous form.

Once this form is received, in case of Partial scholarship instructions will be given regarding the payment due in order to complete the sign up process and reserve a spot in the program. (Housing placement will also follow this same process). The minimum payment guaranteeing the reservation of a spot in the program is 150€: this amount is to be paid as an advance payment (full payment for a Partial scholarship will be 690€) and will be considered as a security deposit for the student. The student will have to complete the rest of the payment before coming to Salamanca. All charges that could be caused by bank transfers (or similars) in order to complete the payment, are not included in the price of the program: they are considered responsibility of the own student.

Raffle of the the full scholarship of the Program:

The raffle will take place in the following manner: each applicant will receive a randomly selected number between 0 and 99999 (lowest and highest number in the Spanish National Lottery: https://www.loteriasyapuestas.es/es/loteria-nacional). The applicant with the number closest to the winning number in the Spanish National Lottery draw of the 28th of May 2022 will be granted the full scholarship. Should two applicants have two numbers equidistant from the 'winning number', the highest of the two numbers will have precedence. For instance, if the winning number of the lottery were 10,000, and one applicant had as application number 9,998 and another applicant had 10,002, the winner would be the applicant with the number 10,002.

Tía Tula will announce the winner the 30th of May 2022, after verifying he or she is a NSHSS member. The awarded applicant will have five days to accept or reject the scholarship.

Should a successful applicant reject the scholarship offer, the applicant holding the next closest number will be selected as a replacement.

The Program includes:

• Two weeks of accommodation in Salamanca (Spain) in Summer 2022 with a host family, single room, full board.
• Two weeks of Spanish Intensive Course: 20 classes per week (Monday to Friday, 4 classes a day).
• Extra-curricular activities in the evening.
• Placement Spanish level test before coming to Spain.
• All class material.
• Free Internet access within the school.
• Both a Tía Tula Student ID Card and an International Students of Spanish in Salamanca card (card SCE), which allow the holder to benefit from numerous discounts in Salamanca including discounts on services and cultural activities, sports facilities, shops, cinemas, restaurants, etc.
• Certificate upon completion of the course.

The two weeks of the Program must be chosen between 06/26/2022 and 08/27/2022.

The following available optional services can be added to the Program by the student, with an extra cost:

• One extra program week (additional cost: 480€).
• Transfer from Madrid airport to Salamanca roundtrip (additional cost: 400€).
• One-day excursions (additional cost: 60€ each one).
• Travel an health insurance (additional cost depending on the circumstances of the student and the coverage contracted).

In case of Partial scholarship, if the student wishes to cancel his or her enrollment, he or she will be entitled to the refund of part or all of the sign up fee as long as he or she cancels before the start of the course. The refund policy is as follows:

• if notified with at least 30 days notice, 75% of the fee will be returned;
• if notified between 30 and 15 days before the start of the course, 50% of the fee will be returned;
• if notified between 15 and 1 day before the start of the course, 25% of the fee will be returned;
• once the course is started, no refund will be made in any case.

These percentages will be applied to the amount that remains after subtracting the security deposit and the non-refundable expenses (bank charges if any, express mail charges if any, and transfer costs if any). If a student coming to the program is the winner of the full scholarship for NSHSS members, he or she will be refunded the total amount paid for booking the program once he or she arrives to the school.
If the student had applied for a VISA to come to Spain and study at Tía Tula, the terms and rates stated before will not be applied: in this case, the student will be only entitled to a refund if the VISA is eventually denied, and under the terms and conditions expressed in point 5.

Tía Tula reserves the right to cancel the sign up of any student that has not paid all the corresponding fees or who behaves in any inappropriate manner in any circumstance. In both cases the student will lose the right to a refund.

If a student needs to ask for a VISA to study at Tía Tula, Tía Tula will send the student all the documents the student could require (once the registration payment is received). If eventually the student does not get the VISA and can prove it with the official refusal letter, Tía Tula will refund the total payment - minus the security deposit and the bank and management fees -, except in the following cases:

• the VISA has been refused because the student has provided false documentation in his/her attempt to get the VISA allegedly for learning Spanish at Tía Tula;
• the student sends Tía Tula a false VISA refusal letter; in this case, furthermore, Tía Tula will immediately inform the Spanish Embassy about it, in order to cancel the VISA;
• the VISA has been refused because the student has not the appropriate level of Spanish language; in this case, the student must improve his/her Spanish until he/she reach the appropriate level and then he/she must apply for the VISA again.

If the visa is granted to the student and he refuses it later, for whatever reason, the refund conditions that could be applied to the student then, would be the same rules that apply to all students who do not need a visa (see point 3).

Tía Tula commits to teaching to the end any intensive course (without complementary subjects such as "Conversation" or "Culture and Civilization"), One-to-one course or Spanish exam preparation course (DELE, A-Level, GCSE, etc.), regardless of the number of students that there may be at any moment of the course. Tía Tula nevertheless reserves the right to cancel any other course or complementary course when the number of students is less than 3; in this case, the remainder part of the course will be refunded to the student.

Registered weeks with holidays in the middle will be considered as entire weeks, and classes corresponding to holidays will not be recovered.

Tía Tula will sponsor the tuition of the Intensive Spanish Language Course (40 class hours) during 2 weeks and the housing with a host family, full board, single room, during the time of the scholarship. The cost of the European university credits are not included in the scholarship. If the scholarship recipient wants to obtain them, he or she will be charged.

Regarding the host family accommodation, the student must take into consideration the following:

• The washing or laundering of clothes is included in the price and consists of one wash load per week. The family is not responsible for washing delicate items of clothing or items that may stain other items of clothing. It is the responsibility of the student to know these situations.
• The student may not cook his or her own food unless he or she has reached an agreement with the family. In which case, Tía Tula will not be involved in such matters.
• Eating schedules and basic rules of community living as well as specific rules established by each family must be abided by.

The scholarship recipient is responsible for his/her travel to and from Salamanca, Spain, and for the costs of the activities organized by Tía Tula if he/ she decides to participate in them.
