CAS Summer Scholarship
Background
At Lanterna we pride ourselves in being a continuous part of the IB community, where we came from. Giving back to the community is something we strive for and our IB scholarships are one of our foremost ways of doing so.
Creativity, Action and Service (CAS) represents an integral part of the IB Diploma Programme and successful completion will serve both as a testament of a student with a wholesome interest in life outside the academic world and serve as a merit that will be of great use in one's post-IB life.
What characterises outstanding CAS activities is that they engage and develop the student partaking in them. It can be a valuable community service, challenging physical activities as it can be artistic pursuits.
Scholarship
4 students will receive a scholarship to attend one course of their choice at any of our Course Centres. The scholarship covers the full course fee. Summer Courses are full board.
1 scholarship will reward Action, 1 scholarship will reward Creativity and 2 scholarships will reward Service.
