Each year the Canadian International School (CIS) is delighted to
award full IB Diploma (DP) scholarships to students who display outstanding
academic ability. The awards demonstrate the school’s pledge in promoting and
recognising educational excellence. It also reinforces their commitment in
offering students from all different types of backgrounds, the opportunity to
benefit from their world-class teaching and learning programmes.
2014
graduate Catherine Chen is just one example of a recent CIS scholar who has
benefited from receiving an IB DP scholarship. Before winning a scholarship to
study at CIS, Catherine dreamt of pursuing a career in pharmaceutics but lacked
the educational expertise and guidance to help her realise her ambition. Thanks
to the opportunity to study at CIS, Catherine gained an IB DP score of 41,
opening doors for her to realise her dream and begin studying pharmaceutical
chemistry at the University of California, Davis campus.
“Thanks
to a fantastic, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to study at CIS, I was able to
excel in my studies and realise my passion for pursuing a career in science and
pharmacy”, said Catherine. “ The experience also gave me the opportunity to
learn valuable life skills, make long-lasting friendships with people from all
over the world, and get involved in lots of incredible extra school activities
ranging from sport, arts and community service. One of the highlights was being
the master of ceremonies for the school’s annual UN parade. I am truly grateful
to CIS for such an amazing opportunity and encourage other students who also
have big ambitions, to apply for one their scholarships too!”
