ISB currently supports 3 female high-school students as part of our Thai Scholarship Program. This program is designed for highly capable Thai students whose families have a demonstrated financial need. It provides them with an opportunity to get an international education and be given opportunities not otherwise available to them. Our Thai Scholarship Program has been running for 6 years and is possible on account of the generosity of our parent community, who also support us in hosting our scholarship students.
“Hosting has been such a gift to our family! We’ve loved having a student with us, having her positive influence on our children, seeing our children consider what this other important person in our family may need/want, and just having another exceptional young person at our dinner table every night. I would recommend opening your heart and home to a scholarship student: The benefits far outweigh any costs,” current host parent.
We are looking for another family to host one of our students from January 2017. Ideally we are seeking a family that:
- Lives close to ISB
- Speaks English at home
- Has a spare bedroom
- Has a Middle School or High School aged child
Host families are expected to provide food, lodging and some incidental expenses. The ISB Scholarship Fund would take care of uniforms, cafeteria meals, school trips, some clothes, school supplies and equipment as needed, certain other incidentals and transportation costs home for holidays.
We are very appreciative to all our host families to date, who make it possible for these students to attend ISB and further their education. If you are interested in hosting, please complete the Host Family Expression of Interest Form by clicking on this link. If you should have any questions, please contact our Scholarship Program Coordinator, Ms. Shelley Bragg at shelleyb@isb.ac.th.
All families who submit an Interest Form will be contacted to arrange an appointment for an interview.
