Inspiring Change, Education for a Brighter Future

The Nsouli Scholars Programme offers a transformative education for students who excel academically and showcase remarkable talent in sports, or the creative and performing arts.  

We believe that every dream has the power to transform lives. That is why we are committed to helping young minds to flourish through a world-class education. Whether it is leading in innovation, excelling in the arts, or shaping communities, every child deserves the opportunity to dream and achieve more. 

What is the Nsouli Scholars Programme?

The Nsouli Scholars Programme is an exciting global initiative that allows 50 extraordinary students at any one time to attend any of Inspired’s prestigious schools on a full scholarship for the duration of their education. In opening this path to exceptional students, we hope to give children of all backgrounds the chance to dream big and reach their highest ambitions through premium opportunities in academics, sports, the arts and more.

This generous endowment honours Nadim Nsouli, who founded Inspired in 2013 as a definitive statement of excellence in private international education. In recognition of Mr Nsouli’s Lebanese heritage and Inspired’s commitment to inclusivity, several scholarships will be awarded to individuals of Lebanese origin.

This is your chance to embrace a future without limits. Apply by 30 April 2025 for the chance to become a Nsouli Scholar.

Hear from our scholarship students

Receiving the Nsouli Scholarship has been one of the greatest honours of my educational journey and I am extremely grateful for it. When I first heard that I had received this scholarship, it was a very overwhelming experience but one that also resonated with me deeply. Today, I am able to receive a world-class education at one of the top schools in HCMC. Even though my enthusiasm for learning is still at its peak, transitioning from a student to a scholar has made me more aware of my responsibilities. From now onwards, I need to be a role model for other students, use my skills to contribute to the school community and continue my academic pursuits. Personally, receiving this recognition has made me feel more capable and motivated to chase my dreams!

A Word From Our Founder

nadim

“At Inspired, we are building communities, and we're committed to supporting them in extraordinary ways. Already, we support 2,200 students with scholarships and bursaries annually across our 118 schools. The Nsouli Scholars initiative goes beyond anything we've done before, reaching out to an even broader community of exceptional students who would simply not be able to access a premium Inspired education without full financial support. My ambition is that this programme will help provide hundreds of children around the world with a life-changing opportunity.”
