APPLICATIONS for the 2024 Crown Prince’s International Scholarship Programme (CPISP) will be accepted from March 1 to 16.
A series of informative presentations on the programme were held in public and private schools.
Students were invited to submit their applications on the website www.cpisp.bh
“Applicants who meet the programme’s criteria will receive an email invitation for a series of tests to assess their English proficiency and critical reasoning abilities,” said a statement yesterday.
“The assessments are organised by the CPISP in co-operation with the Bahrain Institute of Banking and Finance (BIBF).
“The CPISP criteria requires an applicant to be a Bahraini citizen, enrolled in the 11th grade – or equivalent – and to graduate from secondary school in 2024.
“In addition, applicants are required to have an accumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) of 97 per cent or above.”
Scholarships will be allocated to three males and three females from public schools and two males and two females from private schools.
During the scholarship’s last stage, known as the ‘Candidacy Programme’, a minimum of 60 applicants will be selected based on the results of their qualifying tests and GPA.
“Of these 60 applicants, a minimum of 40 will come from public schools and 20 will come from private schools,” added the statement.
“This stage will involve training as well as preparatory courses for the IELTS (International English Language Testing System) and SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test).
“After this process, the final 10 scholarship recipients will be selected.”
