Scholarship recipients are entitled to a 100% reduction in tuition fees, the admission fee, bus fee, and the IB exam fees.

The capital levy fee is waived and covered by the scholarship.  Scholarships last for the duration of the student's time at ISK, provided they remain in good standing at the school. Scholarships may be revoked for poor academic performance or behavior.

Applications are screened by a scholarship committee and awarded to the recipients by April 2015. Financial need is assessed upon completion of ISK’s family finance disclosure form (including relevant supporting documentation).
