The International School of Kuala Lumpur is offering two International Baccalaureate scholarships to Malaysian Citizens who will complete the SPM exams in 2008.

The scholarship, worth over RM 100,000.00 each will cover tuition fee for the two-year course beginning August 2009 inclusive of the external examination fee.

ISKL has been offering the IB Diploma programme since 1991. The IB Diploma is recognized as a university entrance qualification in over 100 countries, including Malaysia. IB graduates gain admission to prestigious colleges and universities throughout the world. Students with strong IB examination results may also receive advance standing or course credit, depending upon the policy of the institution they are attending. Many also are awarded sizeable scholarships and grants. The IB is a complete programme in preparation for university life. In its mission statement, the International Baccalaureate Organization states that the IB was developed to assist schools to “develop the individual talents of young people and teach them to relate the experience of the classroom to the realities of the world outside.”

Headmaster, Paul Chmelik states: “The IB program is a very demanding academic course of studies which provides the best pre-university training available in the world today.
