Founding Scholars Scholarship Application Deadline Extended

The application window for the inaugural Founding Scholars program remains open. ACLAS has moved from a single fixed deadline to rolling review for the founding cohort, so interested applicants — including international applicants who need more time for document preparation — may still apply.

Applications of interest for the founding cohort are accepted and reviewed on a rolling basis. No application deadlines have been set yet: the detailed application calendar will be announced once Ministry of Education licensure is complete. Classes for the founding cohort are planned to begin in September 2028, subject to licensure.

Every admitted student in the founding cohort receives a 25% founding scholarship, and a limited number of 50% excellence awards are available for top applicants; amounts are confirmed in the offer letter. Until licensure is complete, applications are expressions of interest and enrolment contracts are offered after licensure — applicants are encouraged to apply early to secure priority scholarship consideration.
