At St Joseph’s Institution International School Malaysia (SJIIS), we believe every young person deserves the opportunity to flourish academically, grow in character, and discover the kind of leader they can become. Our A Level Scholarship Programme is designed to support outstanding students who demonstrate academic excellence, integrity, and a genuine desire to make a positive impact in their communities.
For almost a decade, SJIIS has nurtured Sixth Form students who have progressed to some of the world’s most prestigious universities, including Oxford, Imperial College London, the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Melbourne, the University of British Columbia, NYU Abu Dhabi, and many others. Our scholars graduate not only with exceptional results but with confidence, compassion, and a strong sense of purpose.
Our founding A Level cohort achieved remarkable results:
Rooted in the Lasallian ethos, students learn within a caring community that emphasises service, leadership, resilience, and global-mindedness. Alongside rigorous academics, students participate in leadership development, service learning, the Lasallian Core Programme, and super-curricular research activities that prepare them for university and life beyond the classroom.
Our University Counsellor provides personalised guidance on subject choices, university pathways, and scholarship applications, supported by visits from international university representatives and insights from SJIIS alumni.
Teachers at SJIIS are highly qualified, deeply committed, and passionate about supporting each student’s growth. Their guidance ensures scholars are well-prepared to meet the demands of A Level study with confidence.
Scholarships are awarded based on academic performance, assessment tests, a written personal statement, and an interview. Awards include:
These scholarships only cover two years of tuition fees.
All scholars will also participate in the Lasallian Leadership Camp, an immersive experience designed to cultivate empathy, leadership, and a spirit of service. Participation is compulsory.
The A Level Scholarship is open to students who meet the academic entry requirements for the Sixth Form programme and demonstrate outstanding academic ability, leadership potential, and strong personal qualities. Applicants must also complete the scholarship application process and submit all required supporting documents by the stated deadline.
Applicants are required to submit a completed application form, a personal statement, recent academic transcripts, forecast IGCSE or SPM results where applicable, a recommendation letter from their current school, identification documents, and any other supporting materials requested as part of the scholarship application.
Scholarship applications are reviewed holistically rather than based on academic results alone. The selection process considers academic achievement, personal qualities, leadership potential, co-curricular involvement, and the overall strength of the application before shortlisted candidates are invited to the next stage.
Yes. Students from both local and international schools are welcome to apply, provided they satisfy the academic entry requirements for the A Level programme and meet the scholarship eligibility criteria. Applications are evaluated through the same selection process for all eligible candidates.
No. Scholarship applications and admission are closely related but remain separate processes. Applicants must first satisfy the entry requirements for the A Level programme, while scholarship awards are offered only to candidates who successfully meet the school’s scholarship selection criteria.
Strong applicants typically demonstrate consistent academic performance together with active participation in leadership, service, sports, arts, or other co-curricular activities. A well-prepared personal statement and supporting documents also help the selection committee gain a fuller understanding of each applicant’s achievements and potential.
If you are a motivated student ready to pursue academic excellence and develop as a leader who contributes meaningfully to society, we warmly encourage you to apply.
