ISM Scholarship Programme

The International School Moshi (ISM) Scholarship Programme develops the future leaders of Tanzania by giving talented local students full scholarships to complete their International Baccalaureate Diploma. We ensure these students are successful through hosting them in our boarding programme, enabling them to participate fully in co-curricular activities, and providing them with pastoral care and university application support.

Our aim is to


ISM's first five scholarship students
  • extend the opportunity for excellent education to outstanding disadvantaged Tanzanian students.
  • develop and prepare ambitious Tanzanian students for future leadership positions within the nation and East Africa.


    • Only 5% of Tanzanian teenagers regularly attend secondary school and the need for educated, capable and committed professionals to manage the country's development is becoming overwhelming. ISM is working to meet this need by carefully selecting bright, enthusiastic and compassionate students, and by giving them the opportunity to develop their academic potential, global perspective and sense of personal direction. After completing their studies, they will then be suitably equipped for the global leadership role that their country needs them to play, so that Tanzania can develop for the improvement of all of its citizens.

    The Scholarship Programme in Action

    Ines MuganyiziThe ISM Scholarship Student Programme began in August 2002. Since then, seven scholarship students have graduated from ISM with a world-renowned International Baccalaureate Diploma since 2004 and are studying at universities including Harvard, Duke, Amherst and British Columbia, on full scholarships. We currently have five scholarship students in school; they too are working hard to fulfill their dream of high academic achievement. Two new scholarship students have been selected to join the school in August 2008.

    Our Students

    "ISM is unique as it provides an international education and gives you a world view. The world is now a fast and global market, but local Tanzanian education makes you limited in many areas."
    Daniel Mundeva - due to graduate from ISM in May 2008 and currently applying to study Geography overseas.

    "By donating to the ISM Scholarship Programme, you are not just helping an individual student to enjoy a high quality education; you are playing an active role in the eradication of poverty in Tanzania and Africa."
    Boniventura Mwapule - 2004 ISM Graduate, now studying at Economics at Duke University on a full scholarship.

    "Our people expect a lot from us and we are actually planning the development for tomorrow."
    Ines Muganyizi- due to graduate from ISM in May 2009.

    All of our scholarship students plan to return to Tanzania on completion of their university studies to substantially contribute to their country’s development and educational initiatives.
