Sixth Form Academic Scholarship

KTJ's Sixth Form Academic Scholarship recognises and rewards students who demonstrate outstanding academic ability and/or potential. We offer a number of scholarships for entry into our Sixth Form in August. Applications are invited from both internal and external candidates, as well as Malaysian and international students. 

Awards typically range from 10% to 75% reduction on tuition fees. Scholarship recipients will be required to cover the cost of boarding fees

For an application to be considered, the candidate must have: 

  • forecast/ actual grades at IGCSE, SPM or the equivalent of A or above in main subjects*
  • excellent reports/ references from the current school.

Where possible, shortlisted candidates will be invited to attend our Scholarship Day, where they will participate in a group activity and attend an interview with two members of the senior leadership team. Successful candidates will be announced at the end of March. 

Sixth Form Academic Scholars are expected to maintain high academic standards throughout their time at KTJ, take on roles of responsibility, and participate in and lead relevant co-curricular activities and super-curriculum enrichment events. 

We accept applications between 1st November and 1st March for the August enrolment. All required documents must be completed and submitted before the deadline. Applications cannot be considered from students who have already commenced their Sixth Form studies at KTJ. We are currently not accepting students for the January enrollment, due to the high volume of applications. 

*Please get in touch with us via email ([email protected]) if your child’s school has not yet published their forecast, predicted or trial IGCSE results before the 1st of March.

Applications for Golf and Squash Scholarships are open throughout the year.
 

Music Scholarship

We offer a number of Music scholarships each year for entry into Forms 3, 4 or 6. Applications are welcomed from both internal and external candidates. External candidates are expected to join the School in August. These scholarships recognise students with outstanding music ability and/or potential. Awards typically offer a range of reduction on tuition fees capped at a maximum of 75% reduction. In addition, scholars receive one free lesson per week on an instrument of their choice.

The criteria for consideration are:

  1. Satisfactory reports/references and grades from current school;
  2. Performance and interview with the Director of Music;
  3. Grade 5 standard or higher on one instrument. 

Please note that ‘Grade 5 standard’ does not mean candidates must have passed Grade 5 or higher. However,  they are expected to be working at this level. Ideally, candidates should offer two instruments, but one can be at a level lower than Grade 5. Singing will be considered as an instrument.

Scholars are expected to contribute widely to the music life of the School and to take a lead in the promotion of music. Other than in exceptional circumstances, this would include taking part in at least two music CCAs or school ensembles. Music Scholarship holders wishing to progress to KTJ Sixth Form and aim to receive a better award are required to reapply during Form 5.

We accept scholarship applications between 1st January and 1st April each year. Outcomes are usually announced in May.
