Many people say that academies are only for nobles due to their substantial tuition fees and the high cost of required equipment. Furthermore, there are additional expenses associated with research and theses, particularly at the superius class later.
However, it is not unattainable for peasants or commoners to gain admission to the academy. Scholarships offer a pathway to entry. To qualify for these scholarships, one must maintain consistently high grades in the primarium and secunda classes. Nevertheless, it's essential to note that these scholarships are not rare; each year, at least 50 non-nobles secure a place in the praeterea class.
Receiving a scholarship implied that the student bore no financial burden and was exempt from tuition fees and academy expenses.
"What the heck? Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think you have the right to be angry at us? The one who is paying for your school fees?!" the noble student exclaimed.
