The AISL Harrow Scholarships Foundation is now accepting applications for its 2025/27 cycle, offering a life-changing opportunity for exceptional students worldwide. This prestigious program provides full scholarships for A-Level studies at AISL Harrow Schools across Asia. The initiative aims to find and nurture the next generation of leaders by removing financial barriers to a world-class education, focusing on students who demonstrate academic brilliance and strong personal values.
A Commitment to Nurturing Tomorrow’s Leaders
Launched in 2021, the AISL Harrow Scholarships Foundation is a key part of AISL’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts. The program is designed to create meaningful educational pathways and enrich the student bodies at its various schools. It champions the core Harrow values of Courage, Humility, Fellowship, and Honour.
Daniel Chiu, Chairman of the AISL Harrow Scholarships Foundation Limited, stated that the foundation is dedicated to supporting students who embody these principles. “These students are more than scholars,” he said. “They are future leaders who embody the principles of Harrow education, capable of driving positive change in their communities and beyond.”
The foundation’s goal extends beyond academics, seeking to develop well-rounded individuals prepared to tackle global challenges with integrity and skill.
What the Full Scholarship Includes
Successful applicants receive a comprehensive financial package designed to let them focus entirely on their education and personal growth. This support is a cornerstone of the program’s mission to ensure merit, not financial standing, determines a student’s future.
The scholarship award covers all essential costs for the entire two-year A-Level program.
The selection process is highly competitive, seeking candidates who excel in multiple areas. The foundation looks for individuals with:
- Outstanding academic records and potential.
- A proven commitment to leadership and service.
- Active engagement in co-curricular activities.
According to Mr. Chiu, the ideal candidates are those who “manifest the Harrow Values in their most distinguished and profound forms,” showing a deep capacity for both intellectual and personal excellence.
