Riviera offers scholarships on two grounds: Merit and Discipline. Merit scholarships are awarded based on national performance (REB students) or international exam performance (Cambridge International students). A learner must have achieved a Distinction or grade A in all subjects to qualify for shortlisting. Shortlisted candidates are invited to a written interview at the school; the top students in either curriculum are eligible for a scholarship. For Discipline, candidates must demonstrate a high degree of self-discipline in accordance with the school rules and regulations. The school management reviews these criteria annually and may revoke a scholarship if standards are not met.
