KIS IB Diploma Full Scholarship

Thank you for your interest in the KIS IB Diploma Full Scholarship 2021-2022

As part of KIS’s continued support to the Bangkok community, the school is offering a full IB Diploma Academic Scholarship valued at over 1.8 Million Baht. The winner of this scholarship will be invited to study at KIS without paying the registration fee or any tuition for the duration of the IB Diploma programme, which lasts for two years (Grade 11 and Grade 12 or Year 12 and Year 13).
