Final scholarship award decisions will also take into consideration the results of the candidate’s assessments and interview.  All applicants will be notified of their scholarship status and those students who do not receive a MIS scholarship may elect to apply for admission without a scholarship award.  The scholarship award decision made by the school is final and may not be appealed.

深圳曼彻斯通城堡学校欢迎学术能力强、具有综合素养并且能够为学校做出积极贡献的学生。我们将会基于以下几个要素对申请学生进行审核：过往学术表现、获奖证书、团队领导经历、课外活动参与经历和个人陈述信。奖学金申请最后的评估会以学生测评结果和面试情况为参考。学校将会通知所有申请者的申请状态，未得到奖学金鼓励的学生可选择申请无奖学金入学。学校的奖学金颁发决定将是最终结果，无法申请重审。

The number of scholarships that will be awarded will vary from year to year taking into consideration the number of available places in that year group, the quality of applications received and the funding available to support scholarships.

每年将颁发奖学金数量不定，名额参考指标如下：每学年学生人数，申请学生的综合素质和奖学金支持经费数。
