Terms & Conditions

Scholarships are awarded based on merit, following the Scholarship Examination and interview process.

Please note that being invited for an interview does not guarantee that a scholarship will be offered.

To accept a scholarship offer, the non-refundable Acceptance Fee and any due tuition fees must be paid by the specified deadline. If payment is not made by the due date, the offer may be withdrawn. If a student is successful in receiving an Academic Scholarship and joins the AIS community, the Application Fee will be refunded.

Parents are responsible for covering any school fees that are not included in the scholarship.

Scholarships are granted with the understanding that the student will maintain high academic standards, actively participate in school activities, and adhere to the school’s policies and rules.

After graduating from AIS, we encourage Scholars to stay connected through our alumni network.

Scholarships are reviewed each May. If academic performance is maintained, the scholarship will be renewed for the following year. The school may request that the student take the annual Scholarship Exam if it feels this is necessary to monitor academic progress.

We ask that families understand that in return for this scholarship, the school expects that the student will remain at AIS through to the completion of the IB Diploma. If the student withdraws before graduation, the school may seek appropriate remedies.
