The Alice Smith School is the oldest international school in Malaysia with a rich British heritage and a reputation for educational excellence. Their Sixth Form is well established with a proven track record of academic success and graduating students secure places at excellent universities worldwide, the UK being the most popular destination.

The KLASS scholarship is a full scholarship with the underlying aim to benefit high achieving  post-SPM Malaysian students with limited financial means. Scholars will be expected to push themselves in all aspects of learning,  attain high levels of excellence in both academic and non-academic fields and become a fully integrated member of our school community.

Applicants will be very strong academically, aiming for an international level of education at a good university, and fulfill all the criteria for entry onto A Levels in our Sixth Form. Together with academic merit, scholarships are awarded on financial need, as such the family of the applicant will be required to disclose income through tax returns.

Given the completion of SPMs in November, it is understood that recipients of the KLASS scholarship will start in January. For this reason, the maximum length of the scholarship is 2½ years. It is anticipated, however, that scholars will complete their A Levels in five school terms, hence scholarships will run from January 2019 to July 2020, with an extension of time into the 2020-2021 academic year only if required. From January until July 2019 of the first year, scholars will join the second term of Year 12 where they will begin their A level study programme.
