Scholarship

SCHOLARSHIP SCHEME PAGE

At Sunjem Private School, the belief is that children should not be denied their fundamental right to education as a result of their parents inability to pay for their education. Consequently, the School set up a Scholarship Scheme to take care of the less privileged children. This scheme has been in operation since 2003.
