Recipient: Thae Nandar Su

Thae Su joined KIS in Grade 11 from Myanmar. Studying Economics, Math and Physics at Higher Levels, Thae Su has consistently maintained high academic achievements with a GPA of 3.87. Recently inducted into the National Honors Society, Thae Su also has an interest in Finance and chairs the Finance Literacy Club on campus. In her own words:

“My KIS journey has been nothing short of wonderful so far. Over the past year, KIS has really changed my perspective of life. Here, opportunities are everywhere and I believe I am making the most of them. I’ve managed to score A and A+ grades across most of my subjects maintaining a good GPA. I’ve been actively involved in a lot of extracurricular activities such as the Financial Literacy club, Science National Honour Society, Vanam Diaries and more. This year, I initiated a TEDx talk at school. Through these activities, I’ve made many new friends from diverse backgrounds which enriches my Kodi experience. While this academic year will be much more demanding with deadlines for IAs and EEs, I can say that I am maintaining a good balance between academics, extracurriculars and life in general. Things are hard at home with the political instability however KIS has been one of the things that keeps me hopeful about life. Lastly, I just want to express my deepest gratitude for this scholarship that made all of this possible. None of this would have happened without your unwavering contribution. Studying at KIS has genuinely changed the way I see the world and my future.”

Recipient Moe Phyu Aung

Moe joined KIS in Grade 11 from Myanmar. With a regular spot in the Principal’s list, Moe has ended Grade 11 with a GPA of 3.85. Moe has been recently been inducted into the National Honor’s Society and is developing a keen interest in Psychology and Biology. In her own words:

 “I sincerely appreciate Ms Maureen Aung-Thwin and all the donors for providing me with this valuable opportunity to study at KIS. KIS is not only a school for me; it has become my second home- it is a place where I met my friends, my precious teachers, and a lovely dorm parent. Without this scholarship, studying for the IB diploma would be a significant burden for me, considering my family’s financial situation. With the help of this scholarship, not only am I now able to study IB, but it also enables me to further develop my tertiary education. It has been one year at KIS, and I have participated in various clubs, including Rotary and Girls in STEM, among others. It is also an honour to be a part of SNHS and NHS. Being able to join activities like camping at Poondi and hiking, has also developed my mental resilience. As a scholarship student, I am trying my best to be a well-deserved recipient of this scholarship by maintaining my GPA of 3.85, my character, and my relationship with my peers. I sincerely believe that the school and its community will prepare me for my future and help me develop my skills for university studies. At this moment though I must admit, I am stressed with college applications! Once again, I am incredibly grateful for everyone’s support. Studying in such a nurturing and inspiring environment would not have been possible without your generous contribution. Thank you once again!”
