Scholarship criteria
CIS scholars are role models to all students as well as exemplars of excellence in their field. They combine all that we look for in students in terms of attitude and contribution with the highest standards. We currently offer scholarships for three types of scholar, academic, sport and music, and successful applicants are expected to be exceptional in their respective areas.
Scholarship criteria are a mix of area specific and more general criteria. Whereas each individual merits is assessed on its merits the scholarship committee will focus on the following criteria.
