CPISP representatives highlighted that the application period for the 2024 Scholarship Program will start from March 1st to 16th, inviting students to submit their applications on the program website (www.cpisp.bh).
Applicants who meet the program criteria will receive an invitation via email to take a series of tests to assess their English proficiency and critical thinking abilities. The assessments are organized by CPISP in association with the Bahrain Institute of Banking and Finance (BIBF).
CPISP criteria require that applicants have Bahraini citizenship, be enrolled in grade 11 (or equivalent), and graduate from high school in 2024. In addition, applicants are required to have a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 97% or higher.
During the final phase of the scholarship known as the Nomination Program, a minimum of 60 applicants will be selected based on qualifying exam results and GPA. Of these 60 applicants, at least 40 will come from public schools and 20 from private schools. This stage will include training and preparation courses for IELTS and SAT exams. After this process, the final ten grant recipients will be selected.
Scholarships will be awarded to three boys and three girls from public schools and to two boys and two girls from private schools.
