Scholarship Program

Does your child have what it takes to win a scholarship to International School Dhaka? We have exciting programs and want you to be part of it. If your child has academic potential, we would love to hear from you.

The opportunity

We’re offering scholarships to talented students for entry into Grade 6 - 11 (age 11-17).

To be considered, scholars need to be able to demonstrate:

  • Strong academic ability
  • Leadership potential
  • A commitment to co-curricular activities

Successful students will receive a full waiver on their admission fee, and between a 50% and 90% discount on their school fees, based on their academic record.

WHY AN ISD SCHOLARSHIP?

An ISD scholarship unlocks a world of opportunity. For 25 years, we have offered the rigorous and globally-renowned International Baccalaureate curriculum. ISD was the first in Bangladesh to become an IB World School, to offer the International Baccalaureate (IB)’s three flagship programs benefiting its youngest learners through to young adults preparing for college: Primary Years (PYP), Middle Years (MYP) and Diploma (DP).
