Selection process for Crown Prince scholarship programme begins

The Crown Prince’s International Scholarship Programme (CPISP) has started the assessment process for about 280 scholarship applicants from governmental and private schools, as well as Bahrainis studying overseas.

The Programme, in co-operation with Bahrain Institute of Banking and Finance (BIBF), held qualifying tests at BIBF headquarters to assess candidates’ English language and critical reasoning skills. Speaking on the process, CPISP Director Dr. Cynthia Gessling said the assessment included an online computer-based test of English Proficiency, in addition to three critical reasoning tests to assess verbal, numerical, and diagrammatical reasoning.

For applicants currently studying outside of Bahrain, the Programme arranged for applicants to take the tests under supervised conditions at an appropriate location. Dr. Gessling said the next step will be for the Programme to select a minimum of 60 candidates based on the results of the qualifying tests and their Grade Point Average.
