Who can apply for the GFRM scholarship?
Both current GIIS Tokyo students and new applicants in Grades 6 to 12 can apply, provided they meet the academic eligibility criteria for their grade band.

Does the scholarship cover all fees?
It applies to course fees only. Registration, transport, uniform and other miscellaneous fees are not included.
Can the scholarship continue beyond the first year?
