Epsom College Malaysia

The Academic Excellence Scholarship is a merit-based scholarship programme designed to support outstanding students who are entering Year 12 (A-Levels) in August 2026 for the full two-year A-Level programme at Epsom College Malaysia.

This scholarship is awarded at partial to full levels (up to 100%), based on academic performance and overall assessment, and is created to recognise and reward students who demonstrate exceptional academic ability, strong learning discipline, and the potential to excel in a rigorous A-Level programme.

The scholarship is open to high-performing students who have achieved:

Excellent IGCSE or SPM final results (for October/November 2025 candidates), or
Strong mock/trial examination results (for May/June 2026 candidates),

and are seeking a high-quality British education that offers both academic excellence and a clear pathway to leading universities worldwide.

Through the Academic Excellence Scholarship, Epsom aims to provide outstanding students with the opportunity to pursue their A-Levels in a structured, supportive, and high-performing environment, while benefiting from dedicated teaching, outstanding boarding and pastoral care, and comprehensive university guidance.

The Academic Excellence Scholarship represents the highest level of academic recognition at Epsom College Malaysia. Awarded to only a small number of exceptional students each year, it recognises not only outstanding academic achievement, but also leadership, character, and the potential to make a meaningful impact on the Epsom community.

This award is tenable for the duration of a student’s time at Epsom College Malaysia, subject to meeting the College’s academic and personal development standards. All Scholars are required to review their performance annually and submit a written reflection explaining how they continue to uphold the values and expectations of an Epsom Scholar.

All Academic Excellence Scholars are expected to:

Make a positive and sustained contribution to the wider life of the College, including co-curricular activities
Demonstrate an outstanding attitude to learning and intellectual curiosity
Maintain a consistently high standard of effort in both classwork and independent study
Show leadership, initiative, and appropriate risk-taking in their academic or co-curricular pursuits
Uphold excellent standards of conduct, responsibility, and integrity.

In addition, strong candidates will typically demonstrate:

Evidence of leadership roles, initiative, or impact in school or community activities
Active involvement in co-curricular activities (sports, music, service, competitions, clubs, etc.)
High English proficiency, suitable for thriving in a rigorous British academic and boarding environment.

Our Academic Excellence Scholarship is awarded through a structured and holistic assessment process to ensure that each recipient demonstrates not only strong academic ability, but also the mindset and character to thrive in a rigorous A-Level programme at Epsom.
