KIS Continues Fantastic Full Scholarship Opportunities For The IB Programmes For Ages 9-16
KIS International School in Bangkok, Thailand is a full International Baccalaureate School. As the school has become more and more in demand, thanks to its great atmosphere, welcoming community and excellent academic results, KIS is growing from 2 classes per year group to 3 classes per year group.
In celebration of this growth, KIS is proud to announce two full scholarship opportunities- the “Grow With Us” scholarship and the “One Million Baht” scholarship. The winner of each of these scholarships will be invited to join KIS without having to pay any tuition fees for the duration of his or her education at KIS, enabling access to an excellent, inspiring IB education.
The scholarships are based on the student’s academic performance as well as an interview with the scholarship committee. The scholarships are open to students of any nationality applying to Grade 4 upwards.
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.
The Grow With Us scholarship, with a value of up to 6 Million Baht is for students applying to Grade 4-10, to start in August 2017.
The One Million Baht scholarship, with a value of over 1.5 Million Baht, is for students applying to the IB Diploma in Grade 11, to start in August 2017.
