At GIS we accept applications for scholarships from students entering IGCSE and IB Diploma.
We offer 4 types of scholarships:
• Academic
• Arts

• Sports
Academic Scholarships are awarded based on:
• CAT scores (the student can take this test at GIS)
• Attainment and effort grades on recent reports/grade cards
• A recommendation from a teacher
Arts Scholarships (for drama, music and visual arts) are awarded based on:
• Success in externally validated examinations (such as ABRSM, LAMDA)
• A performance or portfolio of evidence
• A recommendation from a teacher or tutor
Global Citizenship Scholarships are awarded based on:
• Certified participation in regional or international events (such as MUN, GIN)
• A portfolio of evidence of involvement in suitable projects
• A recommendation from a teacher or event/project leader
Sports Scholarships are awarded based on:
• Ability in one of the school’s major sports
• Certified participation in a team/events at school level or above
• Attending a trial (for a maximum of 2 sports)
• A recommendation from a teacher or coach
All scholarship students must have and maintain an exemplary record in terms of attendance and behaviour.
Scholarships may be awarded against tuition fees only, with a maximum value of 25%.
The scholarship discount does not apply to examination fees and related administrative costs, trips or resource funds, and replaces any other discount already applied. Scholarships are not available to students receiving corporate discounts.
Scholarships are reviewed every year and will be withdrawn with a minimum of one term’s notice if students do not continue to meet the criteria stated above.
Applications may be made at any time, and Scholarships will normally be awarded from the start of the following academic year; they will not be applied retrospectively.
The final decision regarding the award of any scholarship rests with the Principal. The school’s decision regarding Scholarships is final and non-negotiable. All matters relating to Scholarships will remain totally confidential at all times and any disclosure of information to a third party may result in the Scholarship being removed.
The Sports programme at GIS is available to all students in the school and from these teams are selected to represent the school as a GIS Titan in many of the sports offered. Sports clubs in both Primary and Secondary allow students to pursue their passions and give them the opportunity to try new sports , Which we encourage them to continue when moving on from GIS at the end of their school lives.
