Scholarships are available to local and international students who might not be able to afford a VIS education. VIS currently supports five scholarship students. Scholarships fund tuition and related expenses and may be funded by a general scholarship fund or sponsor-specific arrangements; donors can support an individual student or a specific program, such as the IB DP. Scholarships are awarded based on financial need, academic merit and a commitment to the VIS Guiding Principles, with recipients expected to have a strong academic record, extracurricular involvement, and personal growth. The Scholarship Process is managed by a Scholarship Committee and is open to applicants entering Year 10 (US Grade 9) or Year 12 (US Grade 11); the selection is integrated with the VIS admissions procedure, and scholarships remain with students until graduation subject to annual achievement reviews. The application form and deadlines are provided by VIS, including details such as a December 31, 2025 deadline for applications and notes about financial information in later stages.
