Year 12 Scholarship Programme

Q: Can applications be submitted after the deadline date?

At ISM, we are committed to nurturing talent and celebrating hard work, dedication, and outstanding academic achievement. The scholarship programme aims to inspire students to strive for their best during their (i)GCSE examinations while supporting the school’s ethos of preparing students for future academic and personal success.

The scholarship programme is open exclusively to ISM students who complete their (i)GCSE examinations. Scholarships will be awarded based on the cumulative points achieved in a student’s best nine (9) (i)GCSE subjects. Points are calculated as follows:

CIE Examinations: A* = 2 points, A = 1 point
Pearson Examinations: Grades 8/9 = 2 points, Grade 7 = 1 point

Scholarships offer the following tuition fee discounts for Year 12 based on total points:

18 points: 50% discount
16 points: 40% discount
14 points: 30% discount

To apply, Year 11 students must submit a Letter of Application and complete an Online Application via the link below:
