Scholarships and endowment funds
SIWS administers 151 scholarship and endowment funds, given by well-wishers of the institution over more than nine decades. Together they reach students from the Kindergarten and Nursery Section right through to the S.S.C. Examination.
How our scholarships work
Each fund below was endowed by a family, an ex-student, a staff member or a well-wisher, and carries the purpose its donor set — a subject, a standard, a particular achievement, or simply a deserving student in need.
Merit scholarships recognise academic and co-curricular achievement. Open scholarships are awarded on need. Every year, students who achieve outstanding academic performance and demonstrate excellence in extracurricular activities are awarded merit scholarships, and their names are published in the school’s annual calendar in recognition of their achievement.
Families do not need to apply fund by fund. If you would like to know which awards your child may be considered for, please speak to the school office.
