Saili High School Scholarship

Most high school scholarship organisations, including SAILI, select in Gr 6 or 7 to commence in Gr 8. We do this to ensure that high school education starts off well. From time to time I get phone calls and emails asking about high school scholarship opportunities for kids who are already at high school. For a list of scholarship opportunities for Gr 6s transitioning to high school, click here. SAILI does not provide scholarships mid high school but there are a few options out there. Here is all of what I know.
