High School Scholarship Program
The AISCT Scholarship Program is designed for high achieving, academically talented South African students with limited financial means. It provides these students with an opportunity to attend the High School at AISCT. Each applicant who fits this criteria will be given fair and equal consideration based on this criteria.
The merit-based scholarship provides an academically rich and culturally diverse experience that will open the doors to university admission and potentially further scholarship support to the best universities in the world.
Scholarship applicants must be entering Grade 9 or 10 to be eligible. High school students will be able to pursue the prestigious Advanced Placement course of study and earn an American High School Diploma.
Scholarships may last for the duration of the student’s time at AISCT provided they remain in good standing at the school. Scholarships may be revoked for poor academic performance or behavior.
Application Process
Applications are screened by a scholarship committee and awarded to the recipients by April of each year. Financial need is assessed upon completion of a Finance Disclosure form including relevant supporting documentation. High School Scholarships for South African citizens are based on merit and proven financial need.
