For SPH Sentul City applicants, the program includes a 25% scholarship for Pelita Harapan House (PHH), our dormitory at SPH Sentul City. The application timeline generally starts on the third week of September every year and ends at the end of October. Campus-specific windows: Lippo Village 16 June – 10 August 2025; Sentul City 16 June – 5 September 2025; Lippo Cikarang 16 June – 7 August 2025; Kemang Village 16 June – 5 September 2025; Pluit Village 16 June – 5 September 2025. Who are eligible to apply? Scholarships are open to Indonesian students of any religion and financial background interested in Grades 6-11. The scholarship is open to highly active students in academic and non-academic activities; more involvement in out-of-school activities increases the weight of the application. How long does the scholarship last? The scholarship lasts until Grade 12. Each year, progress is evaluated to ensure continued adherence to both academic and non-academic expectations. What are the expectations to maintain the scholarship? Academic and non-academic requirements are evaluated every year, and a minimum score must be maintained. A scholarship student is also expected to demonstrate positive behavior and be involved in student leadership roles. Does the meeting with the Scholarship Committee require the presence of both parents? Yes, but only if needed. It's not necessary for both parents to attend, though attendance is recommended. What happens if I am unable to receive the scholarship? Depending on the test result, a student might be accepted as a regular candidate. What is the content of the test? The test includes Mathematics, English speaking, English writing, Bahasa Indonesia (at several campuses), and an interview. Is the test online or offline? The test is conducted in person and lasts about 2-3 hours, with duration varying by campus. Can I apply for a scholarship to more than one SPH school? Yes; you can indicate your first and second choice of SPH campuses in your registration of interest form. However, when it comes to the actual application, you can only apply to one SPH school at a time. Based on test results, the school will inform which campus you have been accepted to. Will I need to make a registration payment? Yes, there is an application fee that needs to be paid in advance. The fee is discounted by 50% and is non-refundable. |
