A robust scholarship programme at GIIS has made it possible for many students to be on an equal footing with those who are more privileged, and achieve their dream of studying in a digital savvy school, thereby preparing them proactively for University and life onwards.

The scholarship isn’t just a sum of money. The entire offering assists in building the confidence of students and can act as a springboard for their future university applications ─ not just because it has financially assisted the scholar, but because it shows the ability and potential of the student who was awarded with it.

Scholarship in school offer more than monetary benefits. The moment a student is awarded a scholarship it is usually a life-changing catalyst for his or her future success, both academically and in future-career.

Here are the key ways in which scholarships add value for :

- **Prominence Amongst Peers**

If a student receives a merit-based scholarship, it’s a sure-fire sign that he or she has achieved highly in contrast to the peers or has gone ‘the extra mile’ in academic or extracurricular performance. Scholars receive recognition from the cohort which boasts their morale and make them stretch their limits to achieve higher goals in life.

At the same time, the scholar exemplifies excellence and perseverance and becomes a benchmark for other aspiring students.

- **Edge in University Admissions**

Getting into the top universities is often a challenging task. Not only do students need excellent grades, but they also need to show that they have been driven to achieve above-and-beyond both inside and outside of the classroom ─ these are the criteria for which universities look. If your child has a merit-based scholarship, it confirms to university recruiters that this particular candidate has already been recognised by another educational institute and will make an excellent addition.

- **Financial Backing**

Education should be a right for all. Every parent dreams of providing good education to their children, however, not all can afford it. Many deserving students have to have to compromise on the quality of education due to lack of resources.

Scholarships, for those who come from moderate and lower-income families, can be used to fund university and private education fees. For those who come from higher-income families, scholarship award is an additional funding to enhance their educational experience by going for even higher-quality education.

- **Scholarships Add Sparkle to the Resume**

If a student distinguishes themselves in contrast to their peers and achieves a scholarship, his or her resume will also shine among hundreds of rival applications in the job market. More often than not, if a student has already been recognised for his achievements by another institution, a recruiter or hiring manager will likely give more prominence to the candidate. The prior success of the scholar acts as a confirmation of his or her ability.
