APPLICATIONS are now being accepted for next year’s Crown Prince’s International Scholarship Programme (CPISP).
Students who have Bahraini citizenship, are enrolled in the 11th grade or equivalent, are set to graduate from school in 2021, and have a Grade Point Average (GPA) of 97 per cent or above for grade 10 (two semesters) and grade 11 (first semester), are eligible to apply until March 19.
Qualifying applicants must fill in an application form available on the CPISP website (www.cpisp.bh) and submit it online with the required attachments, said CPISP director of finance and administration affairs Shatha Ahmed Ali.
Students who meet the application criteria will take a set of qualifying tests to assess their English proficiency and critical reasoning abilities.
Sixty candidates will be selected and enrolled in training courses and workshops organised by the programme over the summer and the beginning of the next academic year.
The qualifying candidates will include 40 students from public schools, and 20 students from private schools.
The final 10 scholarship recipients, five of each gender, will be announced in April 2021, based on their GPA, and scores of IELTS (International English Language Testing System) and SATs (Scholastic Aptitude Tests) in mathematics, writing, and critical reading, as well as their scores in select courses completed during their candidacy training.
