Up to five scholarships are awarded to students in the 9th grade who will enter high school the following year, for students who demonstrate commitment to their academic performance and the principles of Sidarta, and whose family income does not exceed 1.5 times the minimum wage per person in the household. The scholarship covers tuition and is renewed annually; as needed it can also support costs such as meals, school transportation, uniforms, and books. The scholarship policy is designed to welcome new students and invite the Sidarta community to live, in practice, the principle that wisdom is recognizing the unity that exists in diversity. Applications are open until September 12, 2025. Categories: Quality Education, Events, Instituto Sidarta.
