KIS Celebrates Expansion With A Full Scholarship Opportunity
In celebration of the expansion from two to three classes per grade level, KIS International School is introducing a new scholarship, the “Grow With Us” scholarship. The winner of this scholarship will be invited to join KIS without having to pay any tuition fees for the duration of his or her education at KIS.
The scholarship is based on the student’s academic performance as well as an interview with the scholarship committee and is open to students of any nationality from Grade 4 upwards.
The scholarship follows the success of the highly coveted IB Diploma One Million Baht Scholarship, which attracts many ambitious candidates each year.
KIS scholarships are well respected in the international school community and are awarded in order to recognize academic excellence and open up the world of the International Baccalaureate (IB) to deserving candidates. KIS scholarship students achieve high IB Diploma scores and go to excellent universities in the US, the UK, Europe and elsewhere, often receiving university scholarships too. As KIS offers the IB Primary Years Programme, the IB Middle Years Programme and the IB Diploma Programme, students study the IB continuum at KIS, preparing them for better results on the IB Diploma.
Students who are interested in applying for the “Grow With Us” scholarship should apply before March 31. 2016.
