IB Scholarship Programs at the Pinewood American International School

Subject to the annual approval of the Pinewood Board of Directors, two IB Scholarship Programs are offered to students currently enrolled and for a student from the larger community enrolled elsewhere.

The support and efforts of Pinewood’s Board of Directors, the Ad Hoc Scholarship Development Committee, and our faculty leadership team has been critical to the implementation of these scholarship programs.

Scholarships are announced prior to Christmas break and application decisions are usually rendered by May 1 at the latest..
