Scholarships And Prizes
A range of scholarships, based on both merit and need, support KIS in recruiting and retaining talented students whose families would otherwise find the school’s tuition unaffordable. Scholarships open the doors to opportunity, leveling the playing field for students from all backgrounds. KIS, in partnership with KFI, recognizes its responsibility to the broader community and supports the education of students from diverse countries and underrepresented and marginalized groups. The scholarships facilitate access to KIS education and also help create a diverse and inclusive learning environment for our school.
Your donations can help to sustain and expand the scholarship program to cover a wider set of deserving candidates. In addition to the general KIS Scholarship Fund, KFI’s named scholarships are generously bestowed by the members of our alumni community.
