Scholarship Details

 

​Scholarships are determined in open competition at a fixed level set by the school and are non-negotiable.
Scholarships are awarded at the discretion of the Academic Scholarship Selection Panel, comprising the Head of School, Secondary Principal, Board Chair, and Board Treasurer.  
The number of scholarships can vary from year to year depending upon the caliber of candidates who apply.
All scholarships are reviewed on a quarterly basis to ensure that attainment and commitment are being maintained at the standard expected of an academic scholar.
Scholarships may be withdrawn at any time if a scholar does not maintain the expected standards. (An average grade of

An ISB Scholarship is a prestigious award that unashamedly targets the very best scholars. As a step to an excellent university, it is of significant benefit to a student.
