GIIS Tokyo 20-Year Celebration Scholarship (Merit & Means)

For over 20 years, GIIS Tokyo has been committed to nurturing young minds through academic excellence, holistic development, and future-ready learning. To mark this milestone and to make world-class international education more accessible for families in Japan, GIIS Tokyo proudly offers the 20-Year Celebration Scholarship.

This scholarship follows a clear and transparent merit-cum-means based selection process, supporting deserving students from diverse academic and financial backgrounds. It is applicable to new admissions for Grades 1 to 9 only.

Scholarship Overview

The GIIS Tokyo 20-Year Celebration Scholarship is designed to recognise both academic potential and financial need.

Merit-Based Scholarship (GIIS20 Scholar Challenge)

Students who achieve a minimum of 70% in the GIIS Tokyo aptitude test will qualify for a 10% tuition fee waiver on tuition fees under the Merit Criteria. The assessment is concept-based and evaluates aptitude rather than rote learning.

Means-Based Scholarship
Eligible families may apply directly under the Means-Based Scholarship, or be considered under the Means Criteria if they do not qualify through the Merit pathway. Families who meet the eligibility requirements may receive up to 20% tuition fee waiver, subject to submission and verification of income documents. Income proof is mandatory for all means-based scholarship applications. Admissions under the Means category will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis.


This two-pathway approach ensures fair access to quality education by supporting both academic excellence and genuine financial need.

  • New admissions only for Grades 1 to 9
    • Applicable for families residing in Japan
