Australian International School- Malaysia (AISM) Scholarships

2008-11-18T10:44:00.004+08:00

AISM OFFERS THREE ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIPS for 2009 - 2010

The offer of two year academic scholarships for three Post-SPM Malaysian students.
The AISM Senior Scholarships – the first of their kind to be awarded in Malaysia – are jointly offered by AISM and Taylor’s University College. AISM is a member of the Taylor’s Education Group. The scholarship initially covers the recipient during their Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC). Successful candidates may choose to continue on to a degree programme at Taylor’s as part of the scholarship package. This whole package would be valued at RM200,000.
The Inaugural AISM Academic Scholarship was awarded to Sabrina Lim; however, as the quality of the candidates was so high, it was decided to award two additional scholarships, to Chin Joe Yang in the area of Science and Technology and Yeoh Wan Xin in English and Humanities.
Mrs Armstrong recently commended the six students awarded the scholarships in 2007/08 and 2008/09 for the way they had fitted in so well to the AISM community. All have shown great personal commitment and academic achievement during their time at AISM and the candidates from 2007/08 will sit for their HSC exam starting mid October.
The scholarship offers are for a two year matriculation course (Years 11 and 12) leading to the Higher School Certificate. English is a compulsory subject (offered at Advanced, Standard and ESL levels) and students study either four or five additional subjects. AISM currently offers Mathematics, Mathematics Extension, General Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Business Studies, Economics, Modern History, Legal Studies, Visual Arts, Design & Technology, Information Processes and Technology and Malay for Background Speakers. In addition, Digital Photography & Media and PDHPE (Personal Development, Health & Physical Education) will be offered from 2008. The curriculum is outcomes based with an emphasis on using learnt knowledge to participate in discussions, analyse issues and solve problems. This process forms an essential part of the school’s internal assessment of students’ performance, which is then submitted to the Board of Studies and counts as 50% of their Higher School Certificate result and University Admission Index. Upon successful completion of their HSC, the scholars are eligible to go on to pursue a 3+0 degree programme in Business, Hospitality Management or Communication Studies at Taylor’s. Students may also use their HSC results to enter universities in Australia, New Zealand, UK, Canada and the United States.

When applying for the scholarship, you will need to supply a large amount of information about your academic progress including predicted SPM results as well as your interests and talents. The scholarship examination you will sit for if shortlisted, is based on the NSW School Certificate so as to reflect the outcomes and style of the Australian education system. Once the examinations are marked candidates will again be short listed and the successful candidates invited to an interview with members of the Schools Division of Taylor’s Education and members of the school executive. During the interview, if you are one of those selected, you will be invited to reflect on your success and talk about how the opportunity of an Australian International education would help you to achieve your goals.
Once the interviews are completed the merits of the candidates will be discussed before the offers are made to the successful applicants.
This scholarship offer is a once-in-a-lifetime chance for young Malaysians to understand and experience life and learning as part of the multi-cultural community at one of the nation’s most prestigious international schools. It was initiated for students to interact and study alongside their peers from various parts of the world, within a conducive and supportive learning community.

Through the award of the Pre-University Scholarship, we believe AISM will provide deserving Malaysian students with the opportunity to better develop their talents, skills and confidence so that they can develop their full potential.
