AIS Scholarship Program

AIS Scholarship Applications

At the Australian International School in Singapore (AIS), we recognise that world‑ready students demonstrate a diverse range of skills and talents to thrive in a rapidly changing world. The AIS Scholarship Programme recognises outstanding students who show exceptional achievement, embrace opportunity, and demonstrate respect by contributing positively to their community and the wider world.

AIS Singapore offers globally recognised academic pathways, including the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE), International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), Higher School Certificate (HSC), and International Baccalaureate Courses⁺—a flexible option supporting diverse post‑school pathways.

Our rigorous academic programmes, combined with the ability to accept transfers across Years 9 to 12, make AIS an ideal choice for students seeking a smooth transition to leading universities worldwide.

We offer two types of scholarships that reflect the balance that defines an AIS scholar, where diverse talents are recognised and supported.
