Scholarships

Cornelia International Schools offers Full and Partial Scholarships for academically outstanding pupils in Year 1 to Year 5, designed to recognise excellence and make quality education more accessible. To begin the process, parents purchase the scholarship application form for a fee of ₦10,000, available at the school reception or via our online platform. After completing the application (https://forms.gle/giVnexxeb3KmS9zJ9), candidates are scheduled for a structured assessment which includes aptitude testing, literacy and numeracy evaluations, and a brief interaction session to understand each child’s potential and learning profile. Based on overall performance, students may be awarded a Full Scholarship, which covers all fees (excluding optional fees), or a Partial Scholarship which covers tuition only, which significantly reduces total fees. Shortlisted candidates may also be invited for a final review before awards are confirmed. This transparent, merit-based process ensures that every child is given a fair opportunity to excel and become part of a high-performing, supportive learning community.
