"My fascination with people and their thinking started when I accompanied my socially active parents as a child. Homeschooling until grade 6 allowed me to learn creatively, excel in sports, poetry and baking. However, transitioning to mainstream school was challenging and led to depression. Attending CIS on a full scholarship improved my critical thinking skills and helped me choose a career path."
-Nidhi, Class of 2019.

Receiving a CIS scholarship gave me the chance to realize and pursue my dreams, and experience a true international student life. The 1B curriculum provided useful skills for college and life. This scholarship opened new possibilities and allowed me to envision a future beyond what I thought was possible. Looking forward to another year and becoming a better international student.
