St. Joseph’s Institution International School Malaysia (Tropicana PJ Campus) recently held a Scholarship Awards Ceremony for its founding International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) Scholars at its school auditorium.

A Lasallian tradition that is also observed in its brother school, SJI International Singapore, the ceremony honours its IBDP Scholars who were selected to receive the inaugural SJIIM IBDP Scholarship last year. The IBDP Scholarship Programme which is a cornerstone of the Lasallian International School, saw 28 deserving students receiving the inaugural scholarship last year which consists of scholarship offers ranging from 100% to 20% in school fee waivers.

Mr. Dennis Tang who is the Chairman of the Scholarship Committee and one of Governors of SJIIM, thanked the sponsors of the scholarship fund for their generous contribution and communicated a strong message to the scholars receiving their awards, he said, “The blessings of a scholarship comes with expectations. The expectations are beyond the grades that you will deliver but the person that you will become. A person who is able but more importantly available to the less fortunate. Have a mind that is connected to your heart. Treat your family, friends, colleagues and all around with love and kindness. Be honest and be a person of integrity and when faced with the tough choice of making the right or smart choice, you will choose to make the right choice.”
