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.
