INTENT

The intent of this policy is to promote academic excellence at Wesgreen International School, and to offer outstanding students merit-based scholarships in recognition of their academic excellence in studies, and as an encouragement to bolster their confidence and academic ability so that they maintain their outstanding performance at school, and consequently, at university and in the workplace. The policy undertakes to provide merit-based rewards to outstanding students who choose to continue their AS and A levels studies at Wesgreen International School.

POLICY

SCHOLARSHIP

The scholarship is purely based on academic excellence. Three scholarships will each be given to students of Wesgreen International School Secondary Boys section and Girls section.

The highest three achievers in each section will be awarded a scholarship. If there happens to be a tie-in where more than three achievers have equally outstanding results, then each achiever will be awarded a scholarship.

The Scholarship will only be given to students who choose to continue their studies at Wesgreen International School.

Scholarships will be applied towards to Wesgreen International School’s annual tuition fee, and subtracted from the annual payable total.

The scholarship will be added to the fees due during the third term, and not before.

The scholarship award is structured in the following three tiers:

• The highest achiever in Boys section and in Girls section Dh. 3,000 each
• The second highest achiever in Boys section and in Girls section Dh. 2,000 each
• The third highest achiever in Boys section and in Girls section Dh. 1,000 each

The students do not apply for the merit scholarship; rather the School administration will announce the highest achievers each year, before the end of September based on eligibility criteria noted below.

The announcement regarding final selections for recipients of the merit scholarship will be communicated by letter to the parents of the awardees, and through announcement on the School’s notice board and in the school newsletter.
