Global Indian International School (GIIS), a premier institution with a network of 21 campuses across 7 countries, has announced six different scholarship programmes for local students, which will allow them to study in India and abroad.

Commenting on the scholarship initiative, Atul Temurnikar, Co-founder and Executive Chairman of Global Schools Foundation said, "At GIIS, it has been our continuous endeavour to provide quality and world-class education to every student. The scholarship programmes are an extension and an integral part of GIIS' commitment to providing an equal opportunity to every child to get global exposure and study an international-level curriculum across GIIS campuses in India, Malaysia and Singapore."
The six scholarships include up to 100 per cent grant to students who show academic excellence, sports excellence, and excellence in arts, community programmes and other skills.
