Secondary students that excel in various academic and non-academic areas are invited to apply to receive one of the scholarships that covers up to 75% of their tuition fees. Scholarship recipients will benefit from an enhanced enrichment programme tailored to their individual needs inclusive of personal mentorship and access to supplementary skill development workshops.
