ISP Offers 100 Scholarships For Middle East Students For Academic Year 2024-25

The International Schools Partnership (ISP) has announced a significant initiative to support education in the Middle East by offering up to 100 scholarships for the 2024-25 academic year. These scholarships will be available across nine ISP schools in the region, catering to both existing and new students. The scholarships aim to cover a wide range of disciplines, both academic and non-academic, underscoring ISP's commitment to fostering diverse talents.

Rory Galvin, Director of Learning at ISP – Middle East, highlighted the program's objectives, stating, "We are excited to offer these scholarship opportunities to students across the UAE and Qatar. At ISP, we champion a transformative approach to learning that goes beyond the classroom. We ignite our students’ curiosity and grow their self-confidence, empowering them to become the next generation of changemakers."

The initiative kicked off with an Art competition in partnership with Dynowish Foundation and Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), where Jud Muhammad, a Year 4 student at The English College, emerged as the first recipient of the ISP Art scholarship. This award covers 50% of her tuition fee for the next year. Galvin praised Jud's achievement as an inspiration for all students and expressed enthusiasm for recognizing more talented individuals in the coming weeks.

Additional winners of the art competition included Benjamin Hoyland from The Aquila School, Sarah Elsaleh from Nibras International School, and Sally Ghanim from Star International School, Mirdif. These recognitions underscore the diverse talents present within the ISP community.

The scholarship categories span various fields such as Academic Excellence, Sport, Performing Arts, STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics), IB (International Baccalaureate), and Public Speaking. This broad spectrum of categories ensures that a wide array of student achievements and talents are acknowledged and supported.

Scholarship amounts vary, offering coverage from 50% to 100% of school tuition fees. Interested applicants can find more information regarding criteria and eligibility on the respective school websites or by contacting school admissions teams directly.

ISP schools participating in this scholarship program include The Aquila School, Nibras International School, Star International School Al Twar, Star International School Mirdif, and The English College in Dubai; Aspen Heights British School and Reach British School in Abu Dhabi; along with The Hamilton International School and Park House English School in Qatar.

This scholarship initiative by ISP not only highlights their dedication to educational excellence but also their commitment to nurturing future leaders and innovators across the Middle East. By supporting students across a variety of disciplines, ISP is actively contributing to the development of a well-rounded generation ready to face global challenges.
