KIST students have been accepted by or have attended universities in the following countries.
These universities have offered our students scholarships.
The KIST Founders’ Awards are an initiative of the school’s Founders and Directors, Mr and Mrs Komaki. Through a generous personal endowment by the Founders, the awards are offered in the form of scholarships to students who make a significant contribution to the school according to its vision and founding principles, and who demonstrate qualities that truly represent the essence of the spirit of the school. The criteria for receipt of the awards have been determined by the Founders in line with the school’s three guiding principles―Respect, Responsibility, Safety―and the school rules and policies that follow from these.
There are three categories of awards as follows:
| Category | Award |
| Full scholarship covering 100% of the tuition fees for one school year |
| Half scholarship covering 50% of the tuition fees for one school year |
| Quarter scholarship covering 25% of the tuition fees for one school year |
The awards cover tuition fees only for the period of one school year. All other school fees are required in full. If there are no suitable candidates in one or more categories, no awards will be offered.
