Pioneer Scholars.
Recognising exceptional talent, character and potential across Academic, CAPA, Sport and Innovation, from Year 5 onward.
Excellence in all its forms.
At SRI, ambition is expressed through a culture that recognises and celebrates excellence in all its forms. The Pioneer Scholars programme identifies and nurtures students of exceptional talent, character and potential of the students who serve as ambassadors for what a pioneering education can achieve.
To be awarded a scholarship at SRI is a milestone reflecting the ability, perseverance, discipline and integrity required to perform at the highest level. We recognise that this kind of excellence often comes with real commitment, sacrifice and investment from a family. As a scholar, your child gains access to outstanding training, mentoring, academic support and wellbeing provision, helping to offset those demands.
Applications at GEMS School of Research and Innovation are accepted year-round.
