Through the scholarship program, BIS Hanoi aims to recognize student achievement across academic and non-academic fields while providing opportunities for recipients to further develop their strengths within an international learning environment.

"The scholarship means that the dedication and hard work that I implement into my academics is recognized, and it makes me want to continue striving even further and maybe reaching other such accomplishments," said Evanti, a Year 10 student who received the Middle School Excellence Scholarship.

Reflecting on his experience, Geonyoung, a Year 12 student who received the Scholarship for Excellence in the Arts for the 2025–2026 academic year, said: "This scholarship is approval of my hard work and passion that I've made in BIS Hanoi. This is a really great addition for my personal profile that I will apply for at university, and it will help me to achieve the goal that I wanted."
