AIS Scholarship Programme

AIS Scholarship Applications

Scholarship applications are currently closed for the holiday season. You may still submit your interest; however, applications will not be reviewed until February 1, 2026.

The Australian International School of Singapore (AIS) Scholarship Programme is designed to recognise outstanding students who demonstrate exceptional achievement, embrace opportunity, and show respect — qualities that define our vibrant community.

We offer Academic Scholarships for students in Years 9-12 (equivalent to Grades 9-12).

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 that supports diverse career aspirations.

Our rigorous programmes and ability to accept transfers across Years 9 to 12 make AIS an ideal choice for students seeking a smooth transition into top-tier universities.

The AIS Distinguished Scholar Award provides a reduction of up to 50% in course fees as recognition of a student’s achievements.

Top Universities, Global Careers

Join a 30+ year legacy of AIS graduates who have fulfilled their dreams at top universities around the world — including the University of Melbourne, Stanford University, the University of Cambridge, and the National University of Singapore (NUS).

Our graduates consistently achieve outstanding results: 100% receive university offers, 99% gain entry to one of their top two choices, and over 15% score 40+ in the IBDP — placing them among the world’s best.

If your child is currently an enrolled student at AIS (Singapore), kindly Contact Admissions@ais.com.sg to receive the application form.
