An Overview of the GIIS Future Ready Merit Scholarship

Scholarship

Global Indian International School is an international school that was established in 2002. We put up the first branch, intending to provide quality education to the expatriates residing in Singapore. However, due to our first institution’s success, 22 extra GIIS campuses have been established across Singapore and six other countries, including India, Japan, Malaysia, UAE, Thailand, and Vietnam.

In addition to imparting quality education, GIIS intends to transform students into distinguished global citizens. We provide a comfortable learning environment and enforce the importance of a positive attitude before imparting knowledge through our highly skilled and caring teachers. While the institution expands to provide quality education across the globe, we are aware of the significance of making GIIS education accessible to students from all walks of life.

 In 2008, we introduced different scholarship programs to support deserving students who do not have the financial means to join GIIS. This blog will cover one of our flagship scholarships, ‘Global future-ready merit scholarship’, in detail. But before we do, we will deep dive into all the scholarships we have, then discuss this scholarship program.

Let’s begin.

Scholarship Programs in GIIS

GIIS offers scholarships to students every three months under the guidance of Global Schools Foundation, which is the collective organisation for all the GIIS schools. The foundation repeats the process four times a year.

You do not have to stand out academically to receive a scholarship. You can receive a scholarship based on your academic performance, talent, merit cum means, scientific accomplishments, and much more. Since the inception of our first scholarship, more scholarship programs continue to support our students in Singapore.



Here is a quick list of our top scholarship programs:

● GIIS Future Ready Merit Scholarship – The GIIS Future Ready Merit Scholarship is exclusive to a limited number of outstanding meritorious students. It will give the students who qualify a chance to pursue their senior secondary education at the GSF flagship school, Smart Campus in Punggol, Singapore. In this article, we will delve deeper to gain an understanding of this prestigious award.

● 9GEMS Holistic Development Scholarship – The internationally recognised talent-based scholarship aims to help students adapt to society’s changing times by grooming them into well-rounded adults. The guidelines ensure that there is a balance between academic work and extracurricular activities. Every aspect of the school supports holistic development through its 9GEMS teaching framework.

● Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Global Skills Scholarship – The dr abdul kalam scholarship is a talent-based scholarship that allows digitally-savvy students to nurture their skills from a young age. They receive encouragement from the teachers and have access to resources that encourage them to pursue their love for digital gadgets and software.

● Mahatma Gandhi Merit Cum Means Scholarship – The scholarship provides financial assistance to meritorious Singapore residents. Global Schools Foundation intends to provide affordable education to parents in all financial brackets through this Merit-Cum-Means scholarship program.
