To apply for a scholarship, parents are invited to showcase their child’s exceptional abilities in academics, creative arts, sports, or innovation. This can include achievements such as outstanding performances in concerts, sports competitions, or other accolades. External students should submit a letter of application, along with key evidence such as academic awards, GL Assessment and CAT4 scores, and recent school reports. Please note, all external applicants must complete an admissions application prior to submitting their scholarship request.
