IB Diploma and A-Levels Scholarships
The School offers a number of scholarships to give financial assistance to students
opting to study at Sixth Form Level (Years 12 and 13 working towards the IB
Diploma and A-Levels).
These scholarships may be divided into two types:
Internal
Type One Scholarships for students currently studying in Year 11 of Uplands
School.
Normally three scholarships are awarded in March of each year. Classified as Gold,
Silver and Bronze, they are given in the form of discounts from tuition fees. These
scholarships are by internal application only and based upon performance in
examination (mainly upon the January examination or "mocks" which Year 11
students sit at the beginning of each calendar year).
External
Type Two Scholarships for students of the appropriate age who are Malaysian
citizens, normally those who have just completed their SPM examinations.
Normally two scholarships are awarded in December of each year to students from
Peninsular Malaysia. Other awards may, at the Schools discretion, be offered to
candidates from Sabah and Sarawak.
The scholarships are based upon examinations given by the School in Mathematics
and English, and by personal interview of qualifying candidates. Scholarships are
normally in the form of a 50% discount on tuition fees and, if appropriate, boarding
fees as well.
The scholarship procedure is initiated by notice in the press and the opportunity to
apply normally the month of November (the deadline being 30th November).
Students awarded scholarships commence in January.
